Reds owner Marge Schott later comes under fire for wanting the game in Cincinnati to continue despite the tragedy (and against the wishes of the players on both teams), saying that she felt "cheated" when it was canceled.

Ultimately, the Expos finished two games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Wild Card,
