The Mets can’t squander this incredible opportunity
NY Post
This was Port St. Lucie in February 2003, when 40-year-old David Cone was attempting a last-stand comeback. He was sitting in the Mets’ clubhouse, surveying the big-name veterans on the roster, when he made the following observation:
“There’s a lot of talent in here, but the Mets need something else. With the Yankees in ’96, we needed Derek Jeter to be rookie of the year. The Mets need something like that to happen, a young pitcher or a young third baseman to be a real surprise.” Cone ended his comeback after five appearances, and the teammates he left behind finished a ghastly 66-95. But his point was about the only thing that survived another Mets season from hell. A team usually needs something special to inspire a championship push.More Related News
