WEEK ONE...
CONE TO RETIRE...
Veteran pitcher David Cone has decided to give up the game after this 2002 season.
Cone has won 193 career games - and will be looking to make it 200 this year in his first - and now only - year with the Reds.
He has won 20 games twice in his career - one time with each New York club.
Although not a Hall of Fame-type player, he is fondly remembered in various cities around the MLB landscape, and will no doubt be sorely missed by the game in general.
