Luis Tiant

In honor of the death of Luis Tiant, here is his complete game 11k shutout MLB debut game.

By far my favorite Red Sox pitcher. Loved to watch Looooie spin and twirl on the mound. It was especially entertaining when he'd face Reggie and watch Reggie screw himself into the ground on a El Tiante curve ball.

The first time I went to Fenway Park was for the third game of the 2005 ALDS. Wasn't a fan of either team, but it was just cool to see a playoff game at Fenway. Anyway, before I went inside, I saw people lined up at a table and Luis Tiant was signing for free. I got him to sign my ticket stub for the game. Being a Pirates fan, he had a little added interest beyond just being Luis Tiant. His 1982 Topps card is one of my favorites.

RIP,
His Dad was also a great pitcher.

We always hate to see these posts.

He was definitely a reason I really began liking baseball more and more when I was younger. That windup was great!

Really great career. I always thought he was borderline HOF and he would have been a better representative for the HOF than some of the pitchers put in by the veterans committee in the 50s-70s.

RIP El Tiante!

Go easy on him. He's just trying to help out his stepdad ("Mr. Dykquan Wiltse"), who has everything on your wantlist in good condition.

Of course, now they put him up for the hall of fame...lol..One of the best during this era.

As a kid of the late 70's early 80's...all my little league buddies would pre-swing our bats like Willie Stargell, and show our backs in our wind ups as we pitched. He was iconic to me and my ball playing buddies. RIP
