Now that the 20th anniversary of David Cone’s perfect game against the Expos on July 18, 1999, has passed, there wasn’t much left for the retired right-hander to reveal about his accomplishment — even as the Yankees honored him Thursday with David Cone Bobblehead Night.
At an over-the-top charity party on June 19 at Manhattan’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel that featured Paul Simon and Fat Joe, Joe Torre and several of Cone’s teammates from the 1999 season began a month of celebrating what has become a staple on the video screen at Yankee Stadium.
