Good day all!
On
the blog today, a "not so missing" 1973 card for Billy Conigliaro, who
moved West to Milwaukee after his first three years in the Big Leagues
with the Boston Red Sox:
Conigliaro "the younger" appeared in 52 games for the Brewers in 1972, hitting .230 with seven homers and 16 runs batted in.
Billy had himself a promising rookie year in 1970
that saw him slam 18 home runs while batting .271 in only 114 games, but he
could never quite match that production again, finding himself with the
Brewers after those initial three years in "Beantown" followed by a year with the Oakland A’s in 1973, playing a total
of 100 games combined those two seasons before finding himself out of
baseball for good.
He
put in parts of five seasons in the Majors, hitting .256 over 347
games, with 40 homers and 128 runs batted in, scoring 142 runs between
1969 and 1973.
