Finally, Crispa triumphed in the prestigious All Philippine championship

Crispa was beaten three in-a-row and in five out-of-seven meetings with Toyota as the Redmanizers yielded, too, the fight-marred Second Conference plum of the PBA 1975 inaugurals to the Comets.

It was in this tournament that fisticuffs among players of the two warring clubs erupted forcing Crispa to forfeit Game 4 of the best-of-five championship series with Toyota leading, 2-1,that gifted the Comets the back-to-back titles of the country’s first professional league.
