Boston Slugger Turns To Bunting
Boston Red Sox slugger Tony Conigliaro, 1965 AL home run king, shifts to bunting to boost his average amid a slow start. He collected two hits in a 3-1 win over Cleveland at foggy Fenway, while rookie George Scott hit a two run homer to break a 1-1 tie. Conigliaro emphasized using bunting against deep third basemen to drive in runs and ease homer anxieties.
