Tony Coligniaro after being hit in the face by a pitch.

During recovery:

Rough life for that guy:

On January 3, 1982, Conigliaro, in Boston to interview for a broadcasting position, suffered a heart attack while being driven to the airport by his brother Billy. Shortly thereafter, he suffered a stroke and lapsed into a coma. Conigliaro remained in basically a vegetative state until his death more than eight years later. He lived these final years at his parents' home in Nahant, Massachusetts. In February 1990, he died in Salem, Massachusetts, at the age of 45.

that was a great moment in sports, notice how canseco didn't even feel the ball hitting him in the head and bouncing over the fence for a homer.

Oh, my bad. I either traded for it or took it from somebody - can't quite remember. Just looked it up - not worth much.

A recent favorite of mine, Malcolm Butlers shoulder check and interception to win the SB, and send Seattle packing (fudge).

Sorry to the Seahawks fans here, just kidding...

I seem to remember that I was watching a Braves game on TBS and they were doing a look-in and I saw it happen. It was ironic in the sense that for a few years, Royals-Yankees had been a rivalry because of the ALCS, but in 1983 neither team was going anywhere.
