Vintage Tony Conigliaro W215 Louisville Slugger Boston Red Sox Game Bat

  

Boston's Tony C was on the way to becoming the Red Sox's most popular player of all time when tragedy struck. During a 1967 game against the Angels, Conigliaro was struck by a Jack Hamilton fastball and suffered a linear fracture of the left cheekbone, dislocated jaw and severe damage to his left eye. To everyone but Tony C it would have been a career ending injury, but like a phoenix, Boston's favorite son rose to play again. Though he was never as dominant a ballplayer as he was before, Conigliaro has several fine seasons with Boston and was awarded the Comeback of the Year Award in 1969. Conigliaro's Hillerich & Bradsby W215 is plastic wrapped. Conigliaro's number "25" is hand written on the knob. This came from estate of former Boston Red Sox manager Joe Morgan who had given it to a friend. Conigliaro is a long-time fan favorite in Boston for Red Sox fans.
