It was Tony Conigliaro who was hit and had his vision permanently damaged. Conigliaro was hit because he stood almost on top of home plate and tried to pull everything over the green monster. He was very good, very young.The beaning didn't end his career right there, as he played for several more years, and even went on to hit 30 home runs in a season after that. However, he was never again became the player he was. It was really sad, he was done before he was 30.

That was Tony Conigliaro, an excellent hitter whose career was cut too short due to vision problems resulting from the beaning. Here's an excellent short bio of him:
