My Take
Luis Tiant is one of those names that anyone who knows Boston baseball says with real affection. Nineteen seasons in the majors, mostly with Cleveland and the Red Sox, and that famous corkscrew windup where he'd turn his back to the hitter mid-delivery. "El Tiante" wasn't just a great pitcher; he was a personality, and the Red Sox Hall of Fame honor feels earned. What gets me is the Cuban backbone of his story, leaving Havana and building a long career far from home. He passed in October 2024, and I suspect Fenway felt that loss more than most realize.
