- <p> DIED. Tony Conigliaro, 45, former power-hitting Boston Red
- Sox outfielder; of pneumonia and kidney failure; in Salem, Mass.
- In 1967, at age 22, Conigliaro became the youngest major leaguer
- to accumulate 100 home runs. But that year a fastball hurled by
- California Angels pitcher Jack Hamilton crashed into the left
- side of Conigliaro's face, leaving him with a fractured
- cheekbone, a dislocated jaw and blurred vision. Conigliaro never
- fully recovered from his injuries and retired from baseball in
- 1975, after an eight-year career.
