100th career HR

"In his 1965 sophomore season, Conigliaro led the league in home runs (32). He was selected for the All-Star Game in 1967. In that season, at age 22, he became the youngest American League player to reach a career total of 100 home runs."

This makes no sense...does the article mean "100 runs scored", not "100 home runs"?

Nickname

I grew up in Boston, and went to many games. I always heard and seen him refered to as "Conig". He was my favorite, as a kid. I even got his autograph, and he put "Conig", beside his full name. (I don't have it anymore. :( ) I don't know if he signed it like that just for us, though. We all called him that, so did the other teammates and the sportcasters. We also call "Conigliaro's Corner" "Conig's Corner". There is talk to change the name, but I don't think that will happen. That part may just be a local thing as "Conigliaro's Corner" is too long for Bostonians. We like to shorten names of streets and people, in addition to dropping our Rs. He WAS "Conig" to us. Maybe it's a local thing, but the "nickname" was used in Time Magazine, so I put that as a reference. "Conig" was the man. He and "Yaz". Jeeny (talk) 01:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
