Gene Conley, Dual-Sport Threat With World Series and N.B.A. Titles, Dies at 86


By contrast, Conley played 18 professional seasons in 12 years. But he did not start in the World Series against the Yankees, making only one forgettable relief appearance. He retired from baseball after a disappointing 1963 season, with the close of his basketball career not far off. After his family moved to Richland, Wash., he lettered in baseball, basketball and track at Columbia High School. After his dual career, Conley moved with his wife to Foxborough, where they established the Foxboro Paper Company and ran it for 34 years before retiring to Florida.
