The New York Yankees have had many excellent players and pitchers in it’s rich history none more than David Cone. In 1995 he would pitch a complete game with 147 pitches. Little did I know the best and worst challenges were yet to come in a history-making career.
Cone is not the atypical pitcher, he wasn’t imposing, doesn’t look athletic, and had the face of a choirboy, but he attained a place in sports history that few ever attain or even dream about. Born David Brian Cone on January 2, 1963, in Kansas City, Missouri, he was last of four children born to hard-nosed blue-collar parents, Ed and Sylvia Cone.
