Tony Conigliaro becomes a California Angel in a six player deal giving the Red Sox star and 116 RBIs in 1969 to the Angels.

Gridiology Draw Play Emerges From 1940s Roots
The draw play arose from the late 1940s T formation with Paul Brown Otto Graham and Marion Motley. Browns design used a delayed handoff during a passing look to spring Motley up the middle as defenses overpursued. The play evolved into a predictably timing based run with set blocking patterns and reliance on a strong passing game. Green Bay and Baltimore popularized it with Starr and Unitas guiding successful offenses.
