On September 2, 1996 — After his operation in May to remove an aneurysm in his pitching arm, David Cone makes a dramatic return to the mound when he hurls seven innings of no-hit ball. Manager Joe Torre removes Cone and replaces him with Mariano Rivera gives up the opponent’s only hit, a one-out infield single in the ninth inning to Jose Herrera, in the Yankees’ 5-0 victory over the A’s at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
