A pitcher's story

de Roger Angell

"Twice a twenty-game winner, voted the Cy Young Award as best pitcher in his league, one of sixteen men in history to pitch a perfect game, the holder of five World Series rings and a place among the elite pitchers of the nineties, David Cone has been renowned for his pale-faced hostility on the mound and as a poised, highly intelligent spokesman for baseball itself." -- Jacket.
