Thanks, Val!
Player #99: William F. "Bill" Conroy. "Pep". Infielder with the Washington Senators in 1923. 8 hits in 67 plate appearances in 1 MLB season.
Bill Conroy , nicknamed "Pep", was a professional baseball player. He was an infielder for one season (1923) with the Washington Senators. For his career, he compiled a .133 batting average in 60 at-bats, with two runs batted in.
Conroy was treated for an abscess or tumor at the base of his brain, first experienced in 1922. "The ruddy faced, stockily built youngster reported to the training camp apparently in the best of health, said he felt well and showed sufficient ability in the exhibition games to earn the berth as regular at the far corner." He admitted to having headaches in spring training but was eager to play in 1923. It seems unlikely the medical condition caused his short MLB career as he eventually died at age 71.
