hadn't been beaned and nearly killed by Jack Hamilton? Afterall, it's very likely he would've been around for the '75 Series against the Reds and might've made the difference in that series given the fact that it was extremely close, anyway...Whadda ya think?

I doubt it... We could not catch a damn break until 2004. I was not born yet, but I remember seeing videos of what happen to him, plus my father talked about it a lot. He convinced me that we were cursed because of the babe and that is why it truly happen.

Best chance would have been 67. Game 1 against Bob Gibson at Fenway was 2-1 Cards, none of the other losses in the 4-3 series were close. He would have been at bat with a runner at first and one or two outs (depending if he hit 3rd or 4th) in the first inning hitting a home run once every sixteen at bats that year up until getting hit by that pitch, maybe a little better than that at Fenway. A home run that at bat was the chance to make a difference Harrelson and Yastrzemski didn't get hits, he might have hit a Home RUn and the Red Sox win 4 games to 2.

That's hard to say. He definitely could have made a difference in the '67 series, although Bob Gibson was very dominant. In "75, the Red Sox were without Jim Rice, after he got hit in the hand by Verne Rhule towards the end of the season. Juan Beniquez took his place. So I guess a healthy Tony Conigliaro over Juan Beniquez could have made a difference.

i will say it loud: I CRIED, i'm from Dom Rep, and have been i think of the main important crimson Sox u . s . a . fan from this territories, and you does not be attentive to the emotion we right here felt while we won, specifically for seeing huge Papi (David Ortiz), Manny Ramírez and Pedro Martínez to regulate and carry the team of their shoulders, of path with the super artwork additionally of: Jason Varitek, Curt Schilling, Trot Nixon, and so forth. while we first have been dropping by using the Yankees interior the ALCS, i did no longer unfastened desire (this is the final element you unfastened as an outdated state says), yet while all of us started triumphing, and with the take carry of hitting of Ortiz and Jhonny Damon's HR, it became frightening, thw actual international sequence became that ALCS, consistent with possibility the main suitable sequence ever performed interior the historic past of baseball. I appreciate lots the Yankees employer, as a count of actuality the main suitable team ever in any self-discipline. yet I guess everybody, that any fan from any team of any game has never enjoyed lots as we crimson sox followers did it that 2004.

Possibly, but by 75 the Red Sox had the great Dwight Evans in right field. Maybe they would have been DHing Conigliaro after the introduction of the DH. I don't know about Conigliaro, but Evans had a gun in right.

Tony playing certainly would have changed the complexion (if not the outcome -- it did go to Game 7) of the 1967 World Series.
