After a 14 year feud with George Steinbrenner that stemmed from his time as manager, Yogi Berra agreed to return to Yankee Stadium on this day back in 1999. The team celebrated Yogi Berra Day by having Don Larsen throw out the ceremonial first pitch to his former catcher, and commemorate his 1956 World Series perfect game.
David Cone was on the mound against the Montreal Expos in front of 41,930 fans. 27 outs later, he became the 16th pitcher in Major League Baseball history to toss a perfect game. It was the third time a Yankee had ever thrown a perfecto, and came just one season after his good friend David Wells had thrown his.
