A the one who hits people from  White could have come Down much harder on the four mets and five Phillies particularly on Doc Gooden who upgraded things from a Gale to a Hurricane by Rushing the Mound after Pat Combs hit him with a pitch. Come to think of it the mets should also have called it to docs attention that it is not a Good idea to risk his Arm his career in a fight.

The bad feeling Between the mets and the Phillies goes Back to last season when Roger Mcdowell egged Gregg Jefferies into charging the Mound and the two teams tangled.
