    Fantastic tribute video of Tiant. It really shows what a lovable player he was. Truly a legend of the game. Anytime someone says he’s not a HOFer I’m ready to argue them. RIP 🙏

      Thanks Hugo! Yeah man, Tiant was a great man and an ambassador for the game, especially the Red Sox! I agree he should be a HOFer, sadly he will never get to see his HOF plaque!

    One of the greats of the game Jim, a Red Sox legend! And real class act, always out among the fans after retiring, and signing autographs. I first met El Tiante signing autographs next to the hot dog stand on Lansdowne Street around 15 years ago or so, he signed an autograph for my nephew, and then met him a few years ago at a card show doing signings, getting the pleasure of shaking his hand! He will be missed...Rest In Peace Luis Tiant.
