Tony Conigliaro - Playing The Field
Review by БЕЛА ТУКАДРУЗ
Playing The Field is an album that showcases the musical talent of Tony Conigliaro. The album is a collection of songs that are inspired by his experiences as a professional baseball player. The songs are a mix of rock, blues, and country, and they are all well-crafted and well-performed.
Tony's voice is strong and confident, and his guitar playing is excellent. The album features a number of standout tracks, including "The Ballad of the Green Monster," "Sliding Home," and "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." The lyrics are clever and witty, and they capture the spirit of the game of baseball.

I had a crush on Tony Conigliaro when I was a young teen, about 13 years old! Dad would be watching the Red Sox games, and sometimes I was there. Then seeing Tony up there,( cause I've seen photos of him from baseball cards I'd collect), I liked what I seen. He was a young guy of only 25 yrs. old, and so nice looking. I think i read once he dated Raquel Welch. Those were the days! I also liked Rico Petrocelli, back in the days! Good old days!

I was a young rabid Red Sox fan in the 60’s. This takes me back when all was well with the world. Tony C, alive and young, with the world ahead of him. Like all young Bosox girl fans, I was in love with the tall, dark right fielder.
Rest in peace, Tony. We still love you.

He did. Thank you for posting. He was a local sportscaster here in San Francisco in the 70s. Such a great talent and a tragic story.
