Do you recall what was extra-special that day (7/18/99) when David Cone pitched a Perfect game at Yankee Stadium ?

I believe they were honoring Don Larsen for his WS perfect game on the day Cone pitched his.

Was it Yogi Berra Day?

It was Yogi Berra Day and he caught the first pitch but isn't it significant who threw it to him?

The San Diego Padres have never had a pitcher throw a no-hitter since their inception in 1969. They've also never had a player hit for the cycle. Pretty sad, when you consider that a few players have hit for the cycle twice, Bobby Doerr being one.

China Doll>
Dear Mr. Fantasy>
Hey Jude (reprise)>
Throwing Stones>
Sunshine Daydream
Encore: Quinn the Eskimoe

Edited to add: OOoops. I though you wrote 7/18/89.

You got it....it was Yogi Berra Day.

And, at an interview after the Perfect game, David Cone said he threw 88 pitches.
Just a coincidence, or maybe the "8's" were in honor of Yogi

So what player was in the lineup for Cone's perfect game, AND another perfect game?

[Cerberus]

Several of the players in the Yankees' lineup for Cone's perfecto, were in the lineup for David Wells' gem, the prior season.

[FrankWakefield]

Good point.

Maybe it is two other perfect games...

[Cerberus]

You may be thinking of Paul O'Neill, who was in the Yankee line-up for Wells' and Cone's perfectos, and also in the line-up for the Reds, for Tom Browning's masterpiece.
