August 27, 1992. I call my friend Juan from Jones Beach. “Holy cow they traded Cone!”
The they was the Mets, and what they got back were two bums Ryan Thompson and possible Hall of Fmer Jeff Kent. Thompson was just useless, Kent was one of those guys that was just plain unlikeable.
January 21, 2009. Jeff Kent announces he will retire. As I said all those years when Kent was putting up MVP numbers, I would still rather have David Cone.
