Season Four History

American League West: This was a tight division race right out of the gate. The Dyersville Dreamers, Channing Bombers, Milwaukie Muckdogs, Gashouse Gangreen and the Baton Rouge River Bats all jossled for position through late June. By July, the River Bats and the Gangreen started to fall back, and then by August it was just the Dreamers on top. The Dreamers managed to build an 11 game lead going into September and were never challenged again. The Bombers stayed in the wildcard race though, which they were able to win a spot in the playoffs by the end of the season.

American League South: The Cincinnati Legends controlled the South from the beginning. With Christy Mathewson leading the charge, the Legends pitching staff compiled an ERA of 3.93 in the Field of Dreams highest scoring division. The Legends would win the division without much of a fight. The Frisco Eagles and the Alaska Laserlight would battle for a wild card spot with the Bombers in the West. The Laserlight played terrific baseball during the summer doldrums, during July and August they had the second highest winning percentage in the entire league. The Bombers in the West stayed a step ahead, and the Laserlight also remained in front of the Eagles as the three teams could only take two wild card spots. By the end of September it had all been decided, the Eagles slipped behind and the Laserlight took the wildcard.

National League East: The Capital City Juicers jumped out to a league-best 25 - 7 record to start the season, riding one of the best pitching staffs and a hot offense. The Custers Crimson Tide and the Texas Aggies did work back into the hunt in June, taking advantage of a Juicers cold streak. Both clubs got within 2 games of the Juicers, the Aggies compiled a 20 - 7 record in the month of June to close the gap. The Juicers got back to their winning ways, and the Aggies fell back to the pack. While the Tide stayed within 5 games of the Juicers through August, their fight was for a wild card. In fact, by the end of August, the Trinidad Dragons and Bellingham Barracudas also squirmed their way into the hunt for a wild card, each of the 4 teams traded spots and stayed within 2 games of each other. The Pirates and Norsemen in the North division also gave fight for it, as 6 teams vied for 2 playoff spots. For 4 weeks the 4 East division teams stayed neck and neck, but the Tide began to pull away late in September. The Dragons couldn't stay with the Tide, but there was another wild card, and they were able to give a good fight with the Pirates for it. With 2 games left, the Dragons had a 1 game lead for the playoff spot. Unfortunately, the Dragons lost both of their last 2 games, while the Pirates finished the season riding a 5-game winning streak to take the spot away from the Dragons.

National League North: It was clear from the first few weeks that the Boden Jacks, Graettinger Pirates and North Iowa Undertakers would be the class of this division. All three were at the top of the division, but the Jacks started to assert themselves by the time summer began. The Boden Jacks let the most prolific scoring offense in the Field of Dreams carry them to the division title. The Neflheim Norsemen climbed into the wild card race with the Undertakers and Pirates, and eventually the Undertakers bid for the playoffs would fail as they suffered in the dog days of summer. The Pirates, helped by the stingiest pitching staff in the league, built a lead over the Norsemen and were the North's only remaining hope for a wild card team. Heading into the last 2 weeks of the season, the Pirates had a losing streak, winning just 2 games of their last 10. They righted the ship just in time, winning their last 5 games. They'd held the last National League wild card spot for the last month, then lost it for 2 days only to take it back again on the last day of the season. In the last game of the season, the Pirates bullpen saved their season, pitching 6 scoreless innings after starter Billy Pierce was injured and forced out of the game.

In the American League Playoffs, the Alaska Laserlight and the Cincinnati Legends met in the first round for the second straight season. The first game of the series was a slugfest, but it actually went into extra innings. The Laserlight scored in the top of the 10th, but the Legends hit 4 singles to push across the tying and winning runs in the bottom of the 10th. In the second game, the pitching was a little better, and the game again went into extra innings. Both teams scored in the 8th inning, but it wasn't until the 15th inning that another run was scored. Legends scored thanks to a bases loaded walk issued by Laserlight closer Bruce Sutter. The Laserlight won game 3 by a score of 4 - 2, behind a 4 - 4 effort from Nap Lajoie and a solid pitching performance from Curt Schilling. The series was tied up in game 4 when the Laserlights Deacon Phillippe allowed just 1 run in 8 innings and the offense mashed 14 hits and scored 8 runs. In the deciding game 5, Legends starter Harry Brecheen, their #3 starter, pitched a complete game allowing just 1 run on 4 hits while the Legends offense woke back up and put across 7 runs on their home field to move on in the playoffs. The Bombers and Dreamers squared off in the other series to determine the Legends opponent in the League Championship. Greg Maddux was rested and ready for the Bombers, but in game 1 the Dreamers took it to him, pounding 15 hits off Maddux to win the game. They won game 2 also, as Pete Alexander pitched 8 solid and Bombers starter Randy Johnson was injured in the 4th while striking out Edgar Martinez. The Dreamers finished the sweep of the best of 5 series in game 3 as their offense once again put it to the Bombers top-5 staff, scoring 7 runs on 9 hits behind Dazzy Vance pitching into the 8th inning allowing just 2 earned.

The Legends and Dreamers, both regular season Division winners, had faced each other 9 times in the regular season. The Dreamers had won 6 of those 9 meetings. The Dreamers dropped game 1 at home, as they could not figure out Legends starter Mordecai Brown who pitched 8 innings and allowed just 6 hits and 2 runs. Dreamers won game 2, evening the best of 7 series, behing another good pitching performance from Pete Alexander and the offense scoring 7 runs, 6 in the first 4 innings off Legends ace Christy Mathewson. In game 3, back home, the Legends bullpen pitched 5 scoreless innings and the offense scored the last 3 runs of the game to win 4 - 3 and go up 2 games to 1 in the series. They would take command by winning game 4, as Lou Gehrig and Jesse Burkett homered the Legends to 7 runs. The series would only go 5 games, as Dazzy Vance could not keep the Legends bats quiet enough in game 5. He did pitch a complete game in the loss, but the Legends scored 4 runs off him while Mordecai Brown again put together a great pitching performance and allowed just 6 hits, no walks and 1 earned run in 8 innings. The Legends move on to the World Series after winning game 5 by a score of 4 - 1.

In the National League Playoffs, game 1 between the Boden Jacks and the Crimson Tide turned into a pitchers duel. Tide starter Jon Matlack, a 15-game winner in the regular season, pitched a complete game and only allowed an earned run in the bottom of the 9th inning. The Tide took game 1 on the road by a score of 2 - 1. They would take game 2 on the road too, Don Drysdale allowed only 2 harmless hits and pitched a complete game shutout as the Tide won the game, 6 - 0. The Jacks continued the success of road teams as the series switched over to Connie Mack Stadium, Andy Pettitte pitched a complete game for the Jacks and the offense scored some runs, the Jacks won the game 6 - 2. In game 4, both starters allowed 8 hits and 6 runs. With the game tied at 6 into the 7th, the Tide's Ken Griffey Jr. would hit his second home run of the game to put the Tide in the lead for good. The Tide won the series 3 games to 1. In the other series, what was expected to be a pitching duel turned into a slugfest. The Pirates used a 6-run 6th inning to win, as both teams knocked 11 hits and the Pirates won the game on the road 8 - 6. Game 2 was more like what everyone expected, neither starter allowed an earned run and both teams combined for 3 runs and 11 hits. The Pirates scored 2 runs in the first and no more, but they made them count and they won the game 2 - 1. Down 2 games to 0 and going on the road, the Juicers Kevin Brown and the bullpen allowed the Pirates only 1 run and they won the game 3 - 1 to work back into the series. After road teams won the first 6 games of the National League playoffs, the Juicers tried to keep the improbable going in game 4. Behind Eddie Plank, they did just that, winning 3 - 2 in 10 innings to tie up the series and send it to a game 5 in their home ballpark. Just as the series started, game 5 was a slug-out. Both starters were gone after 4 innings, and the offenses hit 24 hits, and scored 15 runs. The Pirates made road teams in this series 5 - 0, as they won the game 8 - 7 and the series 3 games to 2.

The Pirates won 5 of the 9 games they played against the Tide in the regular season, and the wild card team would continue their winning ways on the road, taking game 1 thanks to a solid effort from starter Carl Hubbell and a grand slam by Jeff Heath, the only runs the Pirates would score. Tide starter Don Drysdale put an end to the Pirates road heroics, and the Tide won game 2 to even the series. Game 3 would go 10 innings, but the Tide would take back home field advantage when Barry Bonds hit a solo home run off Pirates closer Willie Hernandez in the 10th inning, and the Tide won 5 - 4. Carl Hubbell returned for the Pirates in game 4 on just 3 days rest, yet he would pitch a complete game and threw 121 pitches. He only allowed 2 hits, and the Pirates again scored just enough to win, 2 - 0, and tied the series up. As the series continued to see-saw, the Tide won game 5 with 2 home runs from Barry Bonds and 1 from Sammy Sosa. The Pirates Came out swinging in game 6, forcing a game 7 by scoring 6 runs and Bob Gibson only allowed the Tide 1. The Pirates again made 1st inning runs count, scoring 4 against Trucks before the Tide had even come to the plate. In the deciding game 7, Tide starter Jon Matlack pitched 7 good innings, allowing 4 hits and 3 walks, spreading out 3 runs for the Pirates. Pirates starter Carl Hubbell, starting his 3rd game of the series, was clearly worn out and only lasted into the 5th inning. He gave up 5 runs to the Tide, and it was more than enough as the Tide won the game 8 - 4. Niether team won consecutive games in the series, but the Tide move on to the World Series to represent the National League.

In the World Series, between the Custers Crimson Tide and the Cincinnati Legends, the American League figured to come out on top. The Legends won their division, while the Tide were a wild card team. The Legends cruised the last couple of months of the season, while the Tide had to fight and claw up to the last day. The Tide had just finished a rough 7-game series with the Pirates while the Legends had a few extra days off. The Tide came out ready though, and won game 1 on the road by scoring 7 runs on 7 hits and reliever Mike Remlinger, who started only 3 games in the regular season and posted an ERA of 5.42, started the game and pitched 8 solid innings. The Tide won the game 7 - 3. They won game 2 also, as Don Drysdale pitched a complete game shutout and Mike Piazza and Fred McGriff gave them all the offense they needed on 2 home runs. Back home, the Tide couldn't continue the magic, and the Legends added to this playoff seasons string of road team success, winning the game 6 - 4. The Legends scored 3 runs in the 8th and 9th innings to pull it out. The Legends fell behind in the series though, as in game 4 the Tide sent Mike Remlinger out yet again for another surprise playoff start. He only allowed 1 hit in 6 innings, and the Tide took a commanding 3 games to 1 lead in the Series. The Custers Crimson Tide won the Field of Dreams Championship in game 5 of the Series, behind great pitching again, winning the game 2 - 1. The Custers Crimson Tide are Field of Dreams Season 4 Champions.

All Star Game: National League dominated the All Star game, winning 7 - 5 after the American League scored 3 runs in garbage time in the bottom of the 9th. Bob Gibson started for the National Leaguers, pitching 2 2/3 innings and striking out 5 of the 10 batters he faced. The American League made 5 errors in the game, allowed 12 hits, 4 walks and struck out only 1. Babe Ruth homered for the NL, while pinch hitter Mickey Mantle homered in both of his plate appearances for the AL.
