The 1996 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 107th for the franchise in Major League Baseball,and their 39th season in Los Angeles,California. The Dodgers were atop the standings for a substantial part of the season,albeit under two managers. Longtime manager Tommy Lasorda suffered a heart attack in late June and had to step down. Bill Russell,Lasorda's bench coach and a former Dodger player,was chosen to manage the rest of the season.
The 1969 Los Angeles Dodgers finished in fourth place in the new National League West,eight games behind the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers' record for 1969 was 85–77,which was nine wins better than 1968.
The 1995 Atlanta Braves season was the 125th season in the history of the franchise and 30th season in the city of Atlanta. The team finished the strike-shortened season with a record of 90–54,the best in the National League,en route to winning the World Series. For the sixth straight season,the team was managed by Bobby Cox.
The 1991 Montreal Expos season was the 23rd season in franchise history. After several winning seasons,the Expos faltered in 1991,winning only 20 of its first 49 games. Manager Buck Rodgers was replaced as manager by Tom Runnells. The team ultimately finished 71–90.

The 1989 Montreal Expos season was the 21st season of the baseball franchise. With owner Charles Bronfman thinking of selling the team he founded,he contemplated taking one last shot at a playoff berth. Bronfman gave young general manager Dave Dombrowski a clear mandate to win now,reportedly telling him he would provided all the money needed in the quest to bring a championship to Montreal in 1989. Dombrowski pulled off a massive trade on May 25,acquiring star left-handed pitcher –and pending free agent –Mark Langston from the Seattle Mariners. While the move was viewed as a coup at the time,it came at a heavy cost as a young,very tall and very raw Randy Johnson was the key part of the package going to the Pacific Northwest. Johnson would eventually harness his fantastic stuff and became one of the game's most dominant left-handed pitchers for well over a decade. Langston pitched 4 months for the club and left as a free agent. Still,it seemed like a worthy gamble at the time for the Expos. That year,there was no dominant team in the National League. The team seemed poised to compete for the NL East crown with a loaded starting pitching staff that featured Langston,Dennis Martínez,Bryn Smith,Pascual Perez and Kevin Gross.
