Rays OF Baldelli wins Conigliaro Award
BOSTON (TICKER) —Outfielder Rocco Baldelli of the American League champion
Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday was named the winner of the Tony Conigliaro Award,
which is awarded to the player who overcomes adversity through the attributes
of spirit, determination and courage.
The award is named after the former Boston Red Sox player who had his career
cut short after getting hit in the face with a pitch at Fenway Park in 1967.
The Red Sox began presenting it in 1990, the year Conigliaro died.
After missing 15 months with a mitochondrial disorder that causes muscle
fatigue, Baldelli battled his way back to the major leagues this season.
The Rhode Island native returned to the lineup on August 10 and batted .283
with four home runs and 13 RBI in 28 games during the stretch for the Rays.
The "Woonsocket Rocke" played a key role in Tampa Bay's seven-game victory over
the Red Sox in the American League Championship Series, hitting .333 with a
home run and four RBI.
Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester, who overcame Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, was named
last year's winner of the Conigliaro Award.
