1992 San Miguel Beermen season

The San Miguel Beermen welcomes the return of the "Skywalker" Samboy Lim in the lineup. The Beermen were tied with Shell and Presto on top of the standings in the First Conference with seven wins and four losses. Their import Derrick Chievous played in all of their 11 games in the eliminations. But at the start of the semifinal round, the San Miguel coaching staff decided to replaced Chievous after a spat with some of his teammates. Coming in was Rick Calloway.

San Miguel beat Alaska Milkmen in a playoff game to finally enter the finals for the first time since winning the grand slam in 1989. Going up against Shell Rimula-X Turbo Chargers in the championship series, the Beermen were the underdogs with Shell having Bobby Parks, who won his unprecedented seventh best import award, providing the big difference against his counterpart. The Beermen lost in the title series in five games.

In the All-Filipino Conference, the Beermen finish second in the eliminations and a game behind defending champion Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdogs, which top the standings with eight wins and two losses. During the semifinal round, the Beermen won their first six outings for a magic number 13 wins and gain one of the two finals berth as their winning streak reach to eight games.

Going into the last day of the semifinal round, the Beermen played the 7-Up Bottlers with both teams losing only once in the semifinals, the third-year ballclub 7-Up are close to their first finals stint and the Beermen can afford to lose and choose the Bottlers as their opponent instead of the more experience Purefoods squad looking for their fifth straight All-Filipino finals appearance, but San Miguel went on to beat 7-Up, leaving the Bottlers in a playoff game with Purefoods, which the Hotdogs won.

In a classic All-Filipino championship showdown between the Beermen and the Hotdogs, the San Miguel Beermen won in a hard-fought seven game series for their first crown in three years and their ninth overall title.
