News about David Cone

On Sunday night, the New York Mets' match against the Giants was momentarily suspended after a fan bizarrely fell over the railings and into the field. When the game had to be called off, it was the bottom of the fifth edition. The fan was unintentionally caught on television, but cameras quickly cut to the guy standing by the wall holding his face. He stayed his hands up to say he wasn't a pitch invader or someone trying to cause uproar and that he was likely to be injured by a fall of about 12 feet.

Domingo German, a New York Yankees pitcher, achieved baseball immortality on Wednesday, but his route to the perfect game has been anything but perfect. Don Larsen (1956), David Wells (1998), and David Cone (1999) as the Yankees to have made history by pitching the 24th perfect game in MLB, making the feat a possibility for the 30-year-old. He struck out nine of 27 batters and threw 72 of 99 pitches for strikes, throwing himself into the history books. Following the Yankees' 11-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics, he was doused in water as his coworkers commemorated his achievement. However, it doesn't appear that celebrating is the same as being overshadowed by his past.

Despite the New York Yankees' announced plan to gain control of Roger Maris' single-season American League home run record against the Boston Red Sox on Apple TV+ on Friday night, YES. According to the New York Post, the Yankees gave broadcasters Michael Kay, David Cone, and Paul O'Neill, as well as production help to Apple for the right to air Friday's game from the Bronx. However, both MLB and Apple have declined. In addition, Kay, the Yankees' long-serving play-by-play announcer, told Front Office Sports that he would not be included in any Apple TV+ streaming service because he didn't want to steal the opportunity from Apple's Stephen Nelson.
