Baseball career
In his 1964 rookie season, Conigliaro batted .290 with 24 home runs and 52 RBI in 111 games, but broke his arm and his toes in August. Tony Oliva won American League Rookie of the Year honors.
In his sophomore season in 1965, Conigliaro led the league in home runs (32). He was selected for the All-Star Game in 1967. In that season, at age 22, he became the second youngest player to reach a career total of 100 home runs.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-2>[3]</SUP>
On August 18, 1967, the Red Sox were playing the California Angels at Fenway Park. Conigliaro, batting against Jack Hamilton, was hit by a pitch on his left cheekbone, and was carried off the field on a stretcher. He sustained a broken cheekbone and severe damage to his left retina. The batting helmet he was wearing did not have the protective ear-flap that has since become standard.
A year and a half later, Conigliaro made a remarkable return, hitting 20 homers with 82 RBI in 141 games, earning Comeback Player of the Year honors. In 1970, he reached career-high numbers in HRs (36) and RBI (116). That season he and his brother Billy formed two-thirds of the Red Sox outfield. After a stint with the Angels in 1971, he returned to the Red Sox briefly in 1975, but was forced to retire because his eyesight had been permanently damaged.
Conigliaro batted .267, with 162 home runs and 501 RBI during his 802-game Red Sox career. With the Angels, he hit .222, 4, 15, in 74 games. He holds the MLB record for most home runs (25) hit by a teenaged player. He is the 2nd youngest player to hit his 100h homer (after Mel Ott in 1931

Re: MUNSON's Monday WHO AM I?
Look at the price of that SI, Doc, 60 fucking cents!!!!! I remember that cover well.
Tony C. had all of New England rooting for him, was going to an interview to be an announcer for the team, and suffered a heart attack. That led to the stroke which eventually killed him. He lived in a vegetative state for 8 years before passing away. Very sad story, indeed.

Re: MUNSON's Monday WHO AM I?
How many jacks ya think he would have had if he had played his entire
career healthy with the Sox?
I remember the 67 series with Sox / Cards ... I think Longborg threw a
one hitter in maybe game #5? (fuck it ... I know it was between 1-7 !!!)
What a FANTASTIC race to the wire that no one talks about .... I think
4 teams separated by maybe 1-2 games going into the final weekend
and Yaz wins the Triple Crown and then the next yr wins the AL batting
title hiting .301 if I recalll
God ... I loved back then how they had the WS games in the day time
I can still remember Flood in game 7 with that ball going over his head vs the Tigers at old Busch Stadium in the 68 series ....

Re: MUNSON's Monday WHO AM I?
Tony Conigliaro had tremendous talent and he took full advantage of the Green Monster. He was a dead pull hitter, which is why his average was never very high. Hit lots of flyballs into the net back then, and would have been a 500-homer ballplayer if he had stayed healthy and spent his career in Boston, IMO.
