David Cone, he of very good seasons for both NY baseball teams, announced today his retirement after 17 years.

He had a lifetime record of 194-126, pitched a perfect game (for the Yankees) after he had an aneurysm, struck out 19 batters while with the mets, and (except for one questionable incident in the bullpen) was considered to be a class act. Even in retirement he shows this, as goes out on his own terms.
Not only did he pitch well in NY, he became a NYC resident
Coney, good luck in the future.
