During the Red Sox "Impossible Dream" season of 1967, Tony Conigliaro was hit in the face by a pitch, causing a severe eye injury and derailing his career. Though he would make a dramatic comeback from the injury, his career was not the same afterwards.
During his comeback, the triangle of bleacher seats in centerfield of Fenway Park, sections 34 & 35, became known as Conig's Corner because:
A) that was where Conigliaro had hit his last home run before the injury => N 27° 32.508 W 080° 48.803
B) it was covered in a green tarp to give Conigliaro better contrast to see the baseball => N 27° 32.518 W 080° 48.813
C) 34 & 35 had been Conigliaro's numbers while playing for the Red Sox => N 27° 32.528 W 080° 48.823
D) his family had purchased season tickets to the entire two sections => N 27° 32.538 W 080° 48.833
