When MLB stars play against their former team, it is normally an occasion filled with nostalgia. But this is not always the case. In some situations, MLB players part with their teams on a sour note. This can sometimes lead to intense games when the star meets his former team. But most recently, a former New York Mets star showed a cool reaction after helping the Chicago Cubs beat them. 

After a bitter ending to his time with the Mets, this player recently showed his calm side. After beating them with his elite pitching, he remained cool and steady rather than boastful.
