  4.     DIED. Tony Conigliaro, 45, former power-hitting Boston Red
  5. Sox outfielder; of pneumonia and kidney failure; in Salem, Mass.
  6. In 1967, at age 22, Conigliaro became the youngest major leaguer
  7. to accumulate 100 home runs. But that year a fastball hurled by
  8. California Angels pitcher Jack Hamilton crashed into the left
  9. side of Conigliaro's face, leaving him with a fractured
  10. cheekbone, a dislocated jaw and blurred vision. Conigliaro never
  11. fully recovered from his injuries and retired from baseball in
