Talk:Tony Conigliaro

Baseball Career
Conflicting information. First it mentions "In that season, at age 22, he became the youngest player to reach a career total of 100 home runs." then later on it says "He is the 2nd youngest player to hit his 100h homer (after Mel Ott in 1931)." Should likely be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.43.9 (talk) 14:42, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Nickname
I grew up in Boston, and went to many games. I always heard and seen him refered to as "Conig". He was my favorite, as a kid. I even got his autograph, and he put "Conig", beside his full name. (I don't have it anymore. : I don't know if he signed it like that just for us, though. We all called him that, so did the other teammates and the sportcasters. We also call "Conigliaro's Corner" "Conig's Corner". There is talk to change the name, but I don't think that will happen. That part may just be a local thing as "Conigliaro's Corner" is too long for Bostonians. We like to shorten names of streets and people, in addition to dropping our Rs. He WAS "Conig" to us. Maybe it's a local thing, but the "nickname" was used in Time Magazine, so I put that as a reference. "Conig" was the man. He and "Yaz". Jeeny (talk) 01:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Old-age makeup
I don't understand what that part is about, or how it's relevant to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.2.100.56 (talk) August 18, 2007


 * Me either, so I deleted it. Also the name of the gymnasium...the author just said it was  renamed in his honor, why tell us again what it's called? (The Tony Conigliaro Gymnasium) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.136.192.1  (talk) November 28, 2007

Question
Did the beaning lead to the stroke?108.202.210.233 (talk) 19:38, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Also, I don't think it's accurate to say that he remained in a vegetative state from the heart attack until his death. Here's a link to a newspaper article from October 1982 describing his progress. https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1314&dat=19821029&id=uvlLAAAAIBAJ&sjid=2e4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6013,6415999 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.173.240.232 (talk) 15:52, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

He states he deleted info cause it was for a different person..not true! Dmoore5556 previous edit was correct and the above edit should be reverted to that of Dmoore5556 in my opinion Beaglemix (talk) 15:56, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
