David Cone would become known (right or wrong) as a “gun for hire”, a Pitcher who could get you over the hump. While he was often a Cy Young contender the only time he did win the award was in 1994…when he was a member of the Kansas City Royals.
David Cone may not be best remembered for winning a Cy Young Award. He may be best known for being a true hired gun that baseball teams coveted for their stretch drive.
