Double champ Conley dies
Print Edition
GENE Conley, the only man to win both a baseball World Series and an NBA championship in basketball, died on Tuesday at the age of 86, the Boston Red Sox said in a statement. The right-handed pitcher played for the Red Sox as well as the Boston/Milwaukee Braves and Philadelphia Phillies during his 11 seasons from 1952 to 1963. It was with the Braves that the three-time All Star won the World Series in 1957. The 2.03-meter Conley, who had put basketball on hold for much of the mid-1950s while playing baseball, returned to hoops during the 1958-59 season and won the first of three consecutive NBA titles with the Boston Celtics.
