Anthony Richard Conigliaro (January 7, 1945 – February 24, 1990), nicknamed "Tony C" and "Conig", was a Major League Baseball outfielder and right-handed batter who played for the Boston Red Sox (1964–67, 1969–1970, 1975) and California Angels (1971).
He was born in Revere, Massachusetts, was a 1962 graduate of St.
Mary's High School in Lynn, Massachusetts.
Conigliaro started his MLB career as a teenager, hitting a home run in his first at-bat during his home field debut in 1964, going on to set the still current (as of 2019) record for home runs by a teenager, with 24.
During the Red Sox "Impossible Dream" season of 1967, he was hit in the face by a pitch that caused a severe eye injury and derailed his career.
Though he would make a comeback from the injury, his career was not the same afterwards.
