Kathryn and Gene Conley
One of a Kind
Advantage Biography

Gene Conley truly IS one of a kind – he is the only person in professional sports history to play and win world championships in both Major League Baseball (1957 Milwaukee Braves) and the National Basketball Association (1958/’59, ‘59/’60 and ‘60/’61 Boston Celtics). He played alongside some of the greats in both sports, like Hank Aaron and Bill Russell, during his career, and now spends his retired days following, in his own words, ‘all sports,’ and taking in All-Star games that he used to star in.

Kathryn "Katie" Conley, the author of the book, One of a Kind, is Gene Conley's wife. This book is as much her story as it is his. You learn about their young lives, their courtship, Katie's devotion to the teaching of the Seventh Day Adventist church, and Gene's rise to play two professional sports. One Of A Kind chronicles Gene's amazing career and the family that supported him every step of the way.
