Red Sox Fellowship of the Miserable: Tony Conigliaro

Just what is The Fellowship of the Miserable? The original term was coined by former (thankfully) Celtic coach Rick Pitino to describe the perpetually angry Boston fans who mount continual assaults via talk radio. The Boston Red Sox have a long and illustrious history of contributions to the Fellowship with displays over the years that brought forward a crescendo of negativity.

Why is Tony Conigliaro connected to the Fellowship? Tony C. was a local hero and a bonified slugger of the game-changing impact variety. A player whose potential Hall of Fame career was cut short by a tragic and possibly avoidable beaning.
