WHAT A METS! NEWSDAY WRITER WANTS POST WRITER DISCIPLINED

          Marty Noble, the Mets' beat writer for Newsday, has
     sent a letter to the Baseball Writers Association (BBWAA)
     alleging that N.Y. Post baseball columnist Joel Sherman
     "threatened Mets GM Steve Phillips with negative publicity
     if he didn't 'take care of'" Post Mets beat writer David
     Waldstein, according to Bob Raissman of the N.Y. DAILY NEWS. 
     Noble wrote that Phillips has "acknowledged the threat."  In
     addition, Noble wrote that Sherman "implied" he might use
     his position as Chair of BBWAA's NY chapter "against" the
     Mets.  In his letter, which was reviewed by the BBWAA during
     the All-Star break, Noble "concluded that Sherman's BBWAA
     membership card should be revoked."  Yesterday, Sherman
     "categorically denied" ever implying he would use his
     position as NY BBWAA Chair "as a hammer against the Mets." 
     But when asked about the allegation that he threatened
     Phillips, Sherman said "it was a long story" that involved
     other writers (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 7/10).

     District Court in Orlando, "seeks unspecified money damages
     and injunctive relief" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 7/10).
