He pitched in 276 games with a 91-96 lifetime record and 3.82 ERA. He was on the world champion 1957 Braves team and was the winning pitcher in the 1955 All-Star game. Conley also played in the NBA for 6 seasons (52-53 and 58-64) with the Knicks and Celtics and was a member of the 59-60-61 world champion Celtics.
