A little while back I fulfilled a request for a 1976 Tony Conigliaro card, even though it wasn't on my radar.
Today I'll post up a "Tony C" card that was INDEED on my radar: a "missing" 1972 design. Check it out:
The reason I consider it a missing card, even though Conigliaro
didn't play in 1972, was that in 1971 he did suit up in 74 games for the
California Angels, good for 292 plate appearances.
For the season he hit .222 with four homers and 15 runs batted in, along with 23 runs scored and 59 total hits.
Sadly for him, the horrific injuries he sustained from his beaning
back in 1967 got worse, especially his eyesight, and except for a
handful of games in 1975 for his "hometown" Boston Red Sox, his career
was cut short.
