  A Winning Combination
David Cone

David Cone, P
David Cone has toned down his act since he played with the New York Mets in the 1980s and has matured into an ace pitcher and team leader. Since joining the Bombers three years ago, the veteran righthander has provided stability and inspiration as well as wins and strikeouts. In 1996, Cone showed his courage and determination, rebounding just months after career-threatening arm surgery to appear in the postseason. With 20 wins this season, the 35-year-old, four-time All-Star continues to demonstrate that he's not done yet.
