Re: The Tony Conigliaro Story -- What if he wasn't beaned -- ootp7

After finishing 1963 in seventh place, 28 games behind the first place New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox have brought up outfielder Tony Conigliaro, age 18. He is slated to be the starting center fielder for the club for the upcoming season.

2/10/64
The Boston Red Sox sent 33-year old third baseman Frank Malzone to the Houston Colt .45's for 33-year old pitcher Gordon Jones.

Manager's thinkings: I just can't figure out what the GM is thinking. Malzone did pretty well for us in 1963, batting .291 with 15 homers and 71 ribbies in 580 at bats. Now the GM has swapped for a couple of minor league relievers since the beginning of the year, Mike Cuellar and now Gordon Jones.

Opening Week - 4/13/64 thru 4/19/64

4/14/64 - Game #1 - Boston (Monbouquette) @ New York (Ford)

Line Score
Boston 0 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 - 4 11 1
New York 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 - 2 10 1

WP - B.Monbouquette (1-0)
LP - W.Ford (0-1)
Sv - D.Radatz (1)

What a start for Tony C! He debuted by going 3-4 with a double. Conigliaro singled in his first at bat just out of the reach of Roger Repoz in short center field. He came back in the bottom of the second and made a tremendous diving catch to rob Mickey Mantle of a hit. Tony's outstanding play in the field continued as he made two great catches on the warning track in the bottom of the 8th to keep the Yankees from tying the game to preserve the win.

Manager's notes: Dick "The Monster" Radatz came on in the bottom of the 7th with one out and walked 3. The star of the game was Dick Stuart. He went 2-4 including a 2-run homer in the fifth inning to break the 1-1 tie. He also drove in the first run of the game in the top of the 3rd with a sac fly. I hope that Yastrzemski hurries back. I don't like the looks of Dick Williams in left field.

HR - Howard (1), Boyer (1), Tresh (1), Pepitone (1), Maris (1), Repoz (1)

Tony C had another good day at the plate, going 2-4 with two singles. Made another great catch in deep right center to rob Pepitone of extra bases.

Manager's Notes: Lamabe got rocked as Howard's home run in the second inning opened the flood gates as the Bronx Bombers belted six home runs in destroying us. Now we head to Boston for our home opener against the Chicago White Sox. Before today's game, the GM came into the office and told me that he had sent pitcher Dave Gray down to triple A and called up pitcher Jim "Mudcat" Grant.

Minnesota's Tony Oliva smacked five hits in five at bats, including two homers, and drove in three runs.

A double by Conigliaro then a home run by Bressoud opened the scoring of the Red Sox's home opener as they won 8-0 behind the pitching of Earl Wilson. Wilson went eight innings, striking out eight batters, and was named player of the game.

Tony C continued his hot hitting as he went 2-4, with a walk, from the leadoff spot with a double and a home run, his first of the season and of his career. Conigliaro is now hitting .583 (7-12), with 1 home run and 2 RBIs.

Line Score
Chicago 4 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 - 6 7 0
Boston 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 1 8 1

Gary Peters scattered eight hits and three walks in his complete game as the Red Sox couldn't get anything going as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Red Sox, 6-1. Peters was the player of the game for his pitching effort.

Tony Conigliaro had his first 0'fer going 0-for-4 with a strikeout. He is now 7-16 (.438).

Manager's Notes: Connolly never got on track as he got racked for four runs in the opening inning. Gordon Jones and Mike Cuellar saw their first action of the season. I don't know who's worse, Dick Williams or Tony Horton in the outfield. Horton is a better hitter but Williams might be a slightly better fielder.

Dick Stuart sent the Fenway faithful home with a one-on, one-out home run in the bottom of the ninth to give Boston a 3-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. Bill Monbouquette pitched the first eight innings before giving way to Dick Radatz. On the first play, Dick Radatz suffered a ruptured bicep tendon and was replaced by Bob Heffner, who gave up a sac fly in the ninth to allow the White Sox to tie the game before Stuart's heroics in the bottom of the inning. Bill Monbouquette was the player of the game.

Tony C went 1-3 with an rbi double in the second inning to give Boston the lead. Conigliaro finishes his first week batting .421 with three doubles and a home run.

Manager's Notes: Before the game, the GM told me that Carl Yastrzemski was activated from the disabled list and he has sent catcher Russ Nixon down to triple A. After the game, the GM told me that Dick Radatz was being placed on the 60-day disabled list and he was calling up Dave Gray to take his place.

Tony C went 1 for 4 with a single and also made another diving catch.

Manager's Notes: Outfield is playing dynamite and all three are hustling and diving for balls. Unfortunately, they can's stop the gopher ball problem of Lamabe.

Tony C went 1 for 2 with a walk and was hit by a pitch by Stottlemyre.

Tony C went 0 for 4 as he starts off the week with a 2-10 slump.

Manager's Notes: Monbo just didn't have it today but Morehead came in and pitched great. Unfortunately for him, however, the GM came in and told me that Dave Morehead was being sent down to triple A and that he was bringing up 3b Bob Aspromonte.

Tony C went 2 for 4 with a double and a home run and drove in 2 runs. He also was hit by a pitch, the second time this season. The homer led off the 8th inning to tie the game.

Manager's Notes: Bob Aspromonte started the game at 3b for us and quickly started contributing as he drove in the run to break the 4-4 tie in the eighth to give us a short lived 5-4 lead.

Eddie Bressoud gave Boston the lead before Pete Ward hit a 2-run homer in the bottom of the 8th that proved to be the winning runs as the White Sox defeated the Red Sox, 2-1. Chicago's Billy O'Dell was the player of the game as he went the distance and scattered 6 hits.

Tony C was given the day off but came on to pinch hit in the 8th inning and struck out.

Manager's Notes: Although he was scheduled to start for us in game 2, I brought in Jack Lamabe to pitch in the 8th. He gave up the 2-run bomb by Ward that lost us the lead.

Tony C went 2 for 3, a double and a single, and also was hit by a pitch for the third time this week. Conig also gunned down Ron Fairly at the plate in the 8th inning, his first assist of the season.

Manager's Notes: Another game, another one or more gopher balls thrown by Lamabe. Otherwise, he pitched pretty good. Tony C crowds the plate when he bats. I hope that the HBPs don't become a habit. Chuck Schilling stole second in the first inning. This is our first stolen base this season and was our first attempt. A running team we certainly are not.

Tony C went 0-3 with a RBI on a fielder's choice plus had an assist as he threw out Siebern at the plate.

Manager's Notes: Good outing by Monbo to snap the losing skid for us. Gordon Jones is starting to get unhappy. We need to give him more work. Al Morin is angry for not being used. I really have no use for him with Bressoud playing and hitting well plus Bob Aspromonte has been great so far after being called up. I'm hoping that the GM moves Morin, but it's not my call.

Tony C went 1-4, a single, but also hit into a double play. He did make a great play as he robbed Russ Snyder of a home run in the 8th inning.

Manager's Notes: Another game, another home run allowed by Lamabe. He's the main reason why our starters are ranked 9th in the AL in ERA. Oh, well. A split with the O's and now a couple of days off before the Tigers come to town. for a 2-game weekend series. It will be Cuellar and Grant for us with McLain and Aguirre going for Detroit.

Mike Cuellar and Gordon Jones combined for a 10-hit shutout of the Tigers as Boston defeated Detroit, 4-0. Felix Mantilla had a sac fly for Boston's first run then a 3-run eighth inning, thanks to an error by Detroit's Demeter, sealed the win. Cuellar was named player of the game for going 7.0 innings, allowing 9 hits and striking out 2.

Tony C went 1-3, a single, with an intentional walk.

Manager's Notes: Good performance from new comers Cuellar and Gordon Jones brings us one game below .500. Tony Conig seems to be struggling lately. Have to expect that from a rookie after the month that he had. Gordon Jones is still unhappy with his playing time despite coming in and getting the two innings of work and picking up his second save of the year.

Tony C went 1-4, a solo home run in the 4th inning, but struck out three times. Conig finishes the week going 3-14 with 1 homer and drove in 2 runs.

Manager's Notes: The starting pitching is coming around. Grant threw a great game but the wild pitch he threw in the 5th costed him the shutout. The sweep of the Tigers brings us to .500 (8-8). It's about time Yaz had a big game. He's been due and now he's hitting over .300.

Is it because the Sox are one of your fab five? j/k

Thanks for reading. Any comments or thoughts so far? Is there anyone during Conig's career that you would like for me to follow as well?

I've had to use Tony C exclusively in right field thanks to the GM's trades. I've also had to use Felix Mantilla as my regular 3b because the GM traded away Frank Malzone.

I think that I'm going to like having Cuellar and Grant as my number 3 & 4 starters. These kids could amount to something in the future. I may have to send one of them to the pen, though, when I put Earl Wilson back into the starting rotation.

At least we agree on two of your fab five.

I've been a Red Sox fan since birth practically, thanks to my late grandma.

I'm also a fan of the NASCAR driver formerly known as the "Rainbow Warrior".

I've been a Red Sox fan since I was 5 or 6 when my dad got me a Red Sox hat. At the time, I had no favorite team, so I started liking them and have liked them ever since.

As for Jeff Gordon, I've liked him since birth. My dad was a big NASCAR fan, so I always watched the races even when I was like 1 or 2. I've been a Jeff Gordon fan since birth.

As I said before, I am liking this!
