Remember When

Tony Conigliaro - Star local kid who grew up in Swampscott and played for the Red Sox

Tony Conigliaro played 8 seasons in the majors during the years of 1964 to 1975, mostly for the Boston Red Sox. In 1965, in just his 2nd season and at just 20 years of age, Conigliaro led the American League in home runs with 32, the youngest home run champion in AL history. However, his career was substantially hindered when he was hit in the cheekbone by a pitch in 1967, causing severe injury to his eye and forcing him to miss a lot of time in ensuing years. Conigliaro did manage to hit reach career highs of 36 home runs and 116 RBIs in 1970, the same season in which he played in the Boston outfield with his brother Billy.
