The result was a draw. Bavasi didn't sell Labine a contract, and Clem didn't sell Bavasi a sports jacket.

Viewing the comparatively low standing of the Phillies' Kobin Roberts in this year's XL balloting, the Commissioner proposed that the Baseball Writers Association set up a Cy Young Memorial Award for the pitcher of the year. The last XL pitcher to win the MVP award was Jim Kon-stanty, then with Philadelphia, in 1950.
