The 1995 Baltimore Stallions are the only American-based team in the 100-plus year history of the Canadian Football League to win the Grey Cup. No American team has won it since, and since no American team is in the CFL today, that record will stand for the foreseeable future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n  \u003c!-- Gone the same week callout box --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fffbf0; border-left: 4px solid #c8940a; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 700; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.06em; color: #7a5800; margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003eWon the championship — then vanished\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0;\"\u003eThe circumstances surrounding this championship are almost too remarkable to believe. The week before the 83rd Grey Cup was played in Regina, Saskatchewan, the Cleveland Browns announced they were relocating to Baltimore. Owner Jim Speros, unwilling to compete with an incoming NFL franchise, made the decision to fold the team and move the franchise to Montreal as the revived Alouettes. The players who ran onto that field in Regina on November 19, 1995 knew — or would soon know — that they were playing the final Stallions game, ever. They won anyway, 37–20 over the Calgary Stampeders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe 83rd Grey Cup — nicknamed \"The Wind Bowl\" for the brutal November conditions on the Taylor Field turf in Regina — was a commanding performance by a Stallions team that had been building toward this moment for two years. Baltimore went 15–3 in the regular season, the best record in the South Division. The team's MVP,  Running back Mike Pringle, was the most dominant back in the CFL rushing for 1,791 yards in the regular season and a jaw-dropping 484 yards and four touchdowns across three playoff games. Quarterback Tracy Ham was named Grey Cup MVP after throwing for three touchdowns and controlling the game throughout. Carlos Huerta kicked five field goals. Calgary's Doug Flutie, one of the CFL's all-time greats, had no answer for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 24px;\"\u003eCrafted in 10k gold with a sea of diamonds surrounding the Grey Cup, this player ring makes a fine addition to any sports collection. The franchise played only 36 games total across two seasons makeing every ring a one-of-a-kind artifact from a chapter of football history that lasted less than 24 months — and ended on the highest possible note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Specs table --\u003e\n  \u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 24px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #c8940a;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; width: 40%; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eYear\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1995\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eChampionship\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e83rd Grey Cup — CFL Championship\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #c8940a;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e10k Gold with diamonds\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003ePlayer-issued\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #c8940a;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eHead coach\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eDon Matthews\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eGrey Cup MVP\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eTracy Ham, QB\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #c8940a;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eTeam MVP\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eMike Pringle, RB — 1,791 regular season rushing yards\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; font-weight: 700; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eGrey Cup result\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStallions def.
