Being a lifelong New Englander and of course a part of Sox Nation been to 100’s of games at Fenway. One of the best memories took place mid-late 70’s. Tiant senior, hell of a pitcher himself, was finally able to come to the U S from Cuba to see his son Luis pitch. Tiant senior takes the mound to throw ceremonial 1’st pitch, he’s probably 70’ish. The best part Dad winds up does a full spin facing dead center field whirls and fires a beautiful strike. Dead on impersonation, like father like son. RIP Sir, great pitcher especially in Big Games and just as important great ambassador for the sport.
