Born in Cuba, LUIS TIANT was the son of a former negro league all-star, LUIS TIANT Sr.
From an early age LUIS displayed the skill that would allow him to play for six professional major league teams during his career that spanned three decades. Most of his career was spent in Boston where he excelled as a starting pitcher. During the seventies LUIS was one of the most feared pitchers in the league. He amassed strikeouts, shout outs and wins and nearly won the 1975 World Series singlehandely against The Big Red Machine from Cincinnatti.
TIANT’s overall record speaks for itself when you look at his wins (229), strikeouts (2416), complete games (187) and shutouts (49). He was selected for the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 1997 and I feel like it’s time for Cooperstown to recognize this man for his career.
