Quotes about David Cone
He reminds me a lot of David Cone because he has so many different sorts of pitches ... Except he doesn't throw as hard.

Some people are really hard to replace ... But you know what? In 1996, we lost David Cone for a substantial amount of time. The guys who replaced him weren't David Cone, but we got David Cone back around Sept. 1, and things were pretty good after that.

A lot of it is put on me, Nick and David (Cone); the quarterbacks have to take charge
said Steven Threet
He was a young kid who threw hard. I tried to convince him that strikeouts are overrated. I remembered David Cone telling me that in 1992.

One of the contributing writers was there when David Cone pitched that perfect game (on a day in which Larsen was honored in 1999) ... His father started crying, and it was such a great moment. Yogi Berra came out on the field, Larsen came out on the field. And the writer said, 'Dad, the last time I saw you cry was in the temple at my Bar Mitzvah.' And his father said, 'I only cry in sacred places, and Yankee Stadium is truly a sacred place.

Quotes from articles mentioning David Cone
I wasn't a dead-pull hitter, but the right-field porch was good for any left-handed hitter. I hit to all fields, so that 'Death Valley' in left-center, I could get a lot of doubles. I didn't like all that ground to cover when I was playing left field, though.

The funny thing about the Larsen game is that when we got to the ninth inning, I told him, 'Let's get the first hitter,' because it was only a two-run game ... I think it might have helped Don a little to think more of the game instead of the no-hitter. Anyway, it worked. All these years, that's the only no-hitter in the World Series. And I came close to another one.

Guys today ask about the clubhouse in the old Stadium, and I tell him it was so different ... Where the manager's office is now is where the showers were. We didn't have all this room. They were careful about where your locker was. When I got here, they put me next to Bill Dickey, because he was working with me as a catcher.
