On this day in 1983, the Red Sox held “Tony Conigliaro Night” at Fenway. The 1967 “Impossible Dream” team reunited on the field. Tony, a Revere native, had been a part of that team and was severely injured that year when he was hit by a pitch. In 1982, seven years after ending his baseball career, Tony suffered a heart attack and stroke. He remained in poor health and died in 1990. CBSBoston.com/WBZ70 | WBZ / CBS News Boston
