The #8 trade on the list was the Mets’ trade of Ed Hearn to the Royals for David Cone (though the narrator kept referring to someone named “Dick” Cone). Back then, it seemed a [...]

... I’d like to think otherwise, but consider the Amazin’ roster of zipper problems ; Steve Phillips, David Cone, Joe McIllvane, Karim Garcia, Cleon Jones, Leon Lee….and that’s just off the top of my head. At the same time, Lenny’s all-around douchebaggery wasn’t nearly as troubling to our friends in Philadelphia when his physique underwent such magical changes prior to a career season...

... defeat for this young baseball. Now, that series with Ken Griffey’s tremendous display of power, David Cone’s gusty pitching, the emergence of Mariano Rivera , Don Mattingly’s last hurrah, the Martinez’s — Edgar and Tino — constant bludgeoning of the Yankees and, of course, Randy Johnson’s bullpen appearance, has been immortalized by Chris Donnelly in a wonderful new book. Called...

... Different guys at different points in their careers. Saberhagen was fun, Paul Byrd was great, David Cone, Jeff Suppan ....too many to mention. What was the hardest part of catching for you? Not much. Catching has come pretty easy for me. I know it inside and out. If I ever got into a problem, I knew my way out. Unlike hitting...in my offensive game I'd go through ups and downs and...

... time playing this game and I have no regrets.” Maybe we should enlist ex-teammate (and BR junkie) David Cone to sit down with Bernie and tell him that we have a way of dealing with the era a player played in. It’s called OPS+. It is adjusted for the park and the league in which the player played, but not for fielding position. Bernie stands at +125 for his career. Not bad for a CF,...

... Bjorn Borg’s “ transgressions ” with a minor are all forgotten. Does anyone still remember what David Cone did in 1989? Or how Cristiano Ronaldo had fun in October 2005? What happened with Rick Pitino? Oscar de la Hoya still has a reputation, doesn’t he? Even my husband’s hero, Wilt Chamberlain, is no stranger to “transgressions” – it’s all in his autobiography A View From Above ....
