I'm not sure about 1896, but 4-man-rotations were definitely used in 1901. IMO the change from 3- to 4-man-staffs did not come in one specific year for every team around but rather had some teams go with 3 and others with 4 starters if you take a closer look at the pitchers' stats of that era. Plus if the game decides to use them, it should be OK since a lot of guys who know a lot more about baseball worked on these things (btw thanks a lot for all your work !)
