Awesome bio on Cone. I was gonna post it in the BS thread but I figured it deserves it's own. It's a pretty long excellent read. Dude was a great pitcher and an awesome man. I only really got to see him pitch during his Yankee days and after. Didn't get to see him with the Mets and royals. I believe he would make a great manager or at least coach. There's a line in there about how Girardi was getting eaten alive by the press his first year as a Yankee bc he sucked so bad and would hide after games and Cone wound up talking sense into him. I thought that was pretty cool and telling of Girardi. Comes more natural to Cone to deal with the media... I was kinda hoping that when Cone mentioned he would like to be considered for Yankees managerial job that Cash would give him a look... But obviously that didn't happen. Hopefully one day soon he can grab some kinda coaching gig with Yankees if he's into that sorta thing. If not I'm more than content with him behind the mic...
