Baseball Bundesliga 1990

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The baseball league in 1990 was the seventh season of the baseball league . For the first time in history, the Mannheim Tornados did not win the title. This went to the Cologne Cardinals in the Cologne city-internal duel , who were able to prevail 2-1 against the Cologne Dodgers .


Regular season

The 1990 baseball league was the first season since the founding season in 1984 , which was held in two parts in the regular season. In the two seasons North and South, six teams each played for four play-off places. With this change in the Bundesliga from eight to twelve teams, four teams experienced their first Bundesliga season: the Krefeld Bobbins, the Hamburg Marines and the Halle United Rangers (Halle in Westphalia) in the Bundesliga North and the Ansbach Red Sox in the Bundesliga South.

Play-offs

The play-offs were expanded and, thanks to the two-pronged Bundesliga, eight teams also included a quarter-finals. However, the same teams qualified for the semi-finals as in the previous year.

The previous series winner Mannheim Tornados lost in the semifinals against the eventual German champions Cologne Cardinals and was therefore unable to achieve the German championship title for the first time since the introduction of the Bundesliga baseball in 1984.
