The Tony Conigliaro Award is given annually
to the player who best overcomes an obstacle and continues to
thrive through the adversity. Tony himself was a truly gifted
player with Boston until he was hit on the cheek with a fastball
thrown by Jack Hamilton. Tony returned to the lineup a year
and a half later, hit another twenty home runs, had thirty-six
the year after, but was forced to retire due to his eyesight
being permanently damaged. He died in 1990, eight years after
a debilitating heart attack, at the age of forty-five and this
award has been given annually in honor of his life.
