Tiant pitched the first MLB game I ever attended, against Milwaukee, at Fenway. I was 9 years old. I have always remembered that Rico Petrocelli hit a grand slam and the Sox won 9-0 but I had to look up the box score to see how Tiant fared: complete game shutout with 8 hits, 10 Ks, and no walks. The 10th of his 22 wins in 1974.
Thanks for the memory Luis! RIP.
