Looie
Back in the day (I grew up in Vermont) every pitcher wanted to throw like Luis Tiant and every batter wanted to stand at the plate like Yaz!
(I still bat left-handed and hold my hands high like Yaz).
I never could figure out how to consistently find the target as a pitcher who turned to 2nd base before throwing. Luis has a special place in the nostalgia department for me.
His 1974 card with the huge Fu Manchu mustache is an all time great.
Rest in peace Looie!!
Another hero passes 😞
