Cone adds another perfect chapter to Yanks’ legacy
By Claire Smith
College Press Exchange
NEW YORK — The New
York Yankees never settle for
anything as quaint as a simple
Kodak moment. Their stage
presence is simply too big, too
brash, too Broadway for small
productions.
Which is why absolutely no
one ever doubts this organiza
tion’s ability to trump itself.
Sunday, Yogi Berra, Don
Larsen and David Cone con
spired to do just that by follow
* ing a little reenactment of
Larsen’s perfect game in the
1956 World Series with a simi
larly flawless victory by Cone,
as uncanny an example of life
imitating legend as one could
ask.
It was enough to cause script
writers to add an addendum to a
saying made famous by Berra —
the man who more than 41,000
fans came to the Bronx to cele
brate. For it was deja vu all over
again, again.
And while the faces may
change, the Yankees’ flair for the
dramatic and ability to tack on
new chapters to a vaunted tradi
tion never wane.
As Cone reported to work
Sunday, who could have
known that he would make
such Hall of Famers as Berra
and Whitey Ford the footnotes
rather than the stars? For he
happened to draw the starting
assignment in an interleague
game against the Montreal Ex
pos, originally the least com
pelling event of the day.
After all, this was Yogi’s Day,
one of those unique Yankees
productions. The organization
not at all shy about celebrating
its great players over and over
again was to march yet another
long line of former greats onto
center stage - and thousands
through the gates — to honor
Berra again. (Remember, he
ended his self-imposed exile on
opening day and had previous
ly had his number retired at the
stadium).
To make the ceremony dramat
ic and different, the Yankees had
their most famous catcher receive
the ceremonial first pitch from
Larsen, reuniting the battery that
stymied Brooklyn in Game 5 of
the 1956 Series, to date the only
perfect game ever crafted in the
fall classic.
Larsen remained the only Yan
kee to author a perfect game for
42 years until David Wells joined
him last summer. Now Cone
makes three after setting up and
knocking down 27 Montreal Ex
pos in as crisp a performance as
you’ll ever see.
Cone struck out 10 and never
went to three balls in any count.
He needed just 88 pitches to turn
the Expos away, nine fewer
pitches than Larsen needed that
fall day again the “Bums.”
Cone, a Cy Young winner, had
three one-hitters to his name but
had never thrown a no-hitter, let
alone a perfect nine. He obvious
ly saved his most impressive
mound moment for an audience
of Yankees nobility.
The royals were impressed.
“I’ve had the privilege of seeing
him work periodically, and he’s
pretty smooth,” Larsen said of
Cone.
Smooth indeed.
Nothing fazed one of the most
unflappable major leaguers we
are likely to see. Not a 33-minute
rain delay early in the game. Not
ground balls hit to Chuck
Knoblauch, this generation’s ver
sion of Steve Sax at second base.
Not a ninth-inning liner hit by
Ryan McGuire that was nearly
dropped by Ricky Ledee, a left
fielder often removed for defen
sive purposes.
Faster than anyone could say,
“Yikes, Greg Luzinski!” Ledee
caught the 26th out of the game
on the run, basket-style, resusci
tating the full house and Cone’s
hopes.
Then came the final out, when
third baseman Scott Brosius —
just another Series MVP in pin
stripes — caught a pop-up. Cone
had the Yankees’ third perfect
game and the 14th in baseball’s
modem era.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 20). This year,
love’s the answer to every question, anil ac
tion’s required. No problem, it’ll be easy. In
August, untangle a financial mess through clear
communication. Go back to something that
worked before. It’ll be fun to Icam a complicat
ed task in September: save it for then. Love
might move quickly in November, but that’s
OK. You’ll have made up your mind by then,
so there’s no point in holding back. In Decem
ber. revert to an old routine at work for best re
sults, and a tricd-and-tnic method proves lucra
tive in February business dealings. There's a
conflict between public and private lives in
May, but you can find a way to do everything.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the mast challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 4
— Things have slowed down a lot from yester
day. That’s the good news. It looks like your
children, or your sweetheart, need some sort of
funding, anil so do your friends and your fa
vorite charity. Not a preny picture. It might be a
couple of days before you come up with a plan
that suits everyone. Gel help from a person you
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6

lucky and strong, so you can make a good
showing.
GEMINI (May 21 -June 21)—Today is a 4 —
Watch what you say. There could be serious
negotiations going on at your workplace. What
you say and do today could impact how seri
ously you’re taken. If you make a good impres
sion now. it'll last for years. The opposite’s also
true, unfortunately.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7
— You may be inspired to do something a little
bolder than usual. You’re lucky with romance,
but not with money. Spend time on loved ones
instead. Be considerate and thoughtful, and
you'll provide something that’s worth more
than gold. If a loved one would rather have
gold. well, maybe it’s time to chat about what's
really important.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 4 —

much stronger.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 4 —
Yesterday, you were admonished to be careful
about what you said. Today, that's even more
so. Only answer questions if you're asked di
rectly. 7310 action will move quickly, involving
a financial deal. To make the best use of your
money, hold onto it. Find ways to bring more
money in, rather than letting any out.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)—Today is an 8
— This should be a good day. You have to use
this day to the best of your ability. There arc
only a couple of days left this year while the sun

while to get into the college class of your
choice, or get that great vacation deal you’ve
been considering. Don't put it off; do it now!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dee. 21)—Today
is a 4 — You’re still stressed, but not quite as
bad as yesterday. Well, maybe it’s just differ
ent. Arc you struggling with some sort of bu
reaucratic mess? If you can stick with it, you

may be at a disadvantage. To convince the oth
er person, you’ll need the facts. Do the re
search. or you'll lose the argument. You may
be right, but you’ll also have to prove it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 8
— This is going to be an easier day for you. The
problem that had you scattered and worried
should be solved by now. You have a tendency
to get side-tracked by all the options you can
imagine, and your imagination’s prolific! To
day. it’ll be easier to concentrate. You’re lucky,
and the chances arc good that you’ll make the
right decision.
