David Cone was born in Kansas City on this day in 1963. 

Cone broke with KC in 1986 but was traded to the Mets.   A couple of years later, he was 20-3 with a 2.22 ERA with the AL East champion New York Mets.    He pitched for Toronto, NY Yankees, KC and Boston.

Cone had a great pitching career:  194 wins with an excellent 3.46 ERA.   He won 20 games twice and The Cy Young Award in 1994.   He was 8-3 over 15 post season series appearances.    Finally, he pitched a perfect game against Montreal in 1999.

Should he go to The Hall of Fame?   Probably not but he has great numbers.
