Forty-year-old David Cone left the Yankees’ broadcast booth and signed on with the Mets for one more go-round on this date in 2003. The hope going into the season was that a resurgent Cone would complete an aging but still contender-worthy rotation.

David Cone: Sabermetrics Enthusiast

Former Mets great David Cone works 30-40 games a year in the Yankees television booth and he is gaga for information. Here are a few Cone snippets from this excellent NY Mag interview: I love Fangraphs and the mountains of data you can get there, especially with hitters' tendencies and what percentage of pitches they chase outside the strike zone. I'm a little jealous that I didn't have this sort of data when I was playing. There's not a day that goes by that I'm not on Fangraphs or Baseball-Reference.com, or several others, just reading articles or really breaking down data. There's so much to do, and I like to break down overall team tendencies. But I love the Pitch f/x data, and I'm interested in learning more about the HITf/x data. I think how the ball comes off the bat is really interesting.
