The inaugural ELB season in 2016 was contested by three teams: Draci Brno , Haar Disciples , Buchbinder Legionäre Regensburg . Each team played a total of 8 regular season games (4 at home and 4 away) between April and July.
Amsterdam Baseball
A team called Amsterdam Baseball was founded with the purpose to compete in ELB, and to be run by the league. The backbone of the team was supposed to be players from Amsterdam Pirates , but also some previously retired players like Dirk van 't Klooster and Chris Mowday . However, when the season was already well underway, Amsterdam Baseball had to withdraw from the league due to pressure from the European and Dutch baseball federations. This left the league with only three teams for its inaugural season.
