Mike Lowell of the Red Sox took a fastball off the back of his helmet last night. It was one week shy of the 39th anniversary of the beaning of Tony Conigliaro. Lowell was wearing Conigliaro's jersey number. Lowell is also a recipient of the Tony Conigliaro Award (in 1999, after Lowell's comeback from testicular cancer).
Freaky.
In his last start, Curt Schilling became only the 3rd pitcher ever to allow 10 extra-base hits in a game (1 HR, 9 doubles). One of the others was Luis Tiant (although he pitched for Cleveland at the time).
