Armed with a wicked fastball and tremendous instinct on the mound, Cone earned a legion of some of the most devoted fans in major sports, dubbed "Coneheads", who seemed to follow him no matter the team for which he played. Cone, a right-hander, was regarded as one of the top strikeout pitchers in the majors during the late 1980s and early 1990s and won the American League Cy Young Award in 1994 with the Kansas City Royals.
