I have a copy of this issue of Sports Illustrated.  As a Red Sox fan, I feel like it is my duty to honor Tony C. by having a copy of this.

"What could have been?" is never more true than when you discuss Tony Conigliaro's career.  He was a hyped prospect who was putting up huge numbers when this happened.  He was the youngest home run champion in AL history - think about the great players who had come before him, and he held that title.  Youngest player in AL history to reach 100 career home runs.  Unreal talent.

It's sad to think about how his career was cut short, but he'll certainly never be forgotten by true Boston Red Sox fans.  Here's to you, Tony C.!
