David Cone wins his first game as a Met in 11 years on this date in 2003. Coney, stolen from the Royals and later sent wandering the American League—winning a Cy Young for the Royals and a world championship for the Yankees (maybe there were more, it’s late). Coney, at 40 and with many road miles, throws the kitchen sink at the Montreal Expos and records five shutout innings and a 4-0 win on a windswept night at Shea. It is his 194th and final major league win. He’ll exit the mound at Shea a few weeks later for the last time as a pitcher.
