And after Cone threw a“That day certainly shook me up and made me think about those sorts of things,” Cone said in an interview last week.
“I actually thrived in hot weather,” said Cone, who now works as an analyst for ESPN Sunday Night Baseball and YES Network Yankees games. “I was 36 years old at the time and the heat helped to keep my arm loose, with all the wear and tear and miles on my arm.” “It was probably a reaction to the superstitions of everybody else staying away from me and a need to vent a little bit to kind of get things out,” he said. “And I ended up talking to myself out loud, staring at myself in the bathroom mirror. It was pretty simple things, along the lines of, ‘This is probably your last chance to do something like this.’”
