Anthony Richard Conigliaro (January 7, 1945 – February 24, 1990), nicknamed "Tony C" and "Conig", was a Major League Baseball outfielder and right-handed batter who played for the Boston Red Sox (1964–67, 1969–1970, 1975) and California Angels (1971). He was born in Revere, Massachusetts and was a 1962 graduate of St. Mary's High School (Lynn, Massachusetts). During the Red Sox "Impossible Dream" season of 1967, he was hit in the face by a pitch, causing a severe eye injury and derailing his career. Though he would make a comeback from the injury, his career was not the same afterwards.
Conigliaro was signed by the Red Sox in 1962, at the age of 17. In 1963, he batted .363 with 24 home runs in the New York–Penn League and was subsequently called up to the majors.
During 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. In his first at-bat in Fenway Park, Conigliaro hit a towering home run in the second inning against the White Sox.
Tony was a star- most HR by a teeneager in MLB history, fastest to 100 HR in AL history, youngest HR champion in AL history. His tragic injury in 67 justs adds to the legend of what was the curse of the Bambino- think the Sox could have used him during their 7 game loss to the Cards in the 67 World Series.

It was 1964 when Tony Conigliaro joined the Boston Red Sox (he signed with them in 1962 but it wasn't until 1964 that he was officially playing for them). He might have had a happier life if he had stuck to singing, though, as in 1967 he was hit in the face by a wild pitch that caused a severe eye injury that he never recovered from. He continued to play for the Red Sox off and on through 1975 when he was forced to retire due to his impared eyesight which was permanently damaged. A few days before his 37th birthday he had a massive heart attack which lead to a stroke which caused him to lapse into a coma and remain basically unresponsive until his death in 1990 at 45 years old. He left behind three singles cut for RCA Victor (two of which were issued first on the Penn-Tone label) between 1...
