When the series concluded, Jordan Anderson of the Montesutti Gazette put together a poll to vote on who the best ballplayer of the series was. The ballot was distributed to writers in Lano, most of the players on both sides, both of the mayors, and six of Anderson's neighbors. The results were published today, when Allen Materne's photograph appeared on the front page of the Gazette, naming him "Best Ballplayer." Toby Simonian had finished 2nd in the voting, and Justin Mowry had come in third.

The article also mentioned that Mayors Jimerson and Thorvald had gotten together and agreed to host another series of games the following year, this time holding 7 games. They had also decided that the game would be played right in a row, all in 1 week.

Kevin Cain told Mayor Thorvald he wouldn't be playing in the next series, as he was 43 years old and that's just too old for baseball.
