On this episode of Dirt From the Dugout, Karl Ravech and Justin Musil welcome five-time World Series champion David Cone, one of just 55 players in MLB history to win that many rings. Cone traces his love of pitching back to backyard Wiffle ball with his brothers, where he first learned to spin a curveball while idolizing Luis Tiant’s unmistakable style during the 1975 World Series. He opens up about the mound presence and command that defined his career despite not having an overpowering frame, crediting a Little League mentor who pulled him aside as a kid and taught him how his on-mound tantrums were affecting his teammates.

Cone reflects on sharing Canada’s first World Series title with the Blue Jays as a midseason “hired gun,” the emotional moment he watched Joe Torre break down after the Yankees clinched a pennant during his brother’s heart transplant, and the “blank slate” mentality he learned from Bernie Williams about staying present at the plate.
