The German Baseball-Bundesliga is going to have 15 instead of 16 teams in 2014. The Hanover Regents couldn’t fulfill the necessary requirements and therefore have to stay in the second division. The German Baseball and Softball Federation (DBV) announced the decision on Monday. Hanover would have played in the north against the Solingen Alligators, Untouchables Paderborn, Bonn Capitals, HSV Stealers, Cologne Cardinals, Dortmund Wanderers and Dohren Wild Farmers.
