On July 18, 1999, On Yogi Berra Day at Yankee Stadium, David Cone pitches 14th perfect game of the modern era and the 16th overall in major league history and the third Yankee to toss a perfect game, Cone doesn’t reach a three-ball count on a single batter and throws only 88 pitches in shutting down the Montreal Expos, 6-0.
In pre-game ceremonies, Don Larsen throws out the ceremonial first pitch to Yogi, commemorating his 1956 World Series perfect game. Coincidentally, these are the only two perfect games ever pitched in interleague games.
