Red Sox great “El Tiante” dead at 83

[rightwinger]

Luis Tiant has died.
One of the most memorable windups in baseball, the guy had lights out stuff at his prime.

The Cuban born Tiant was a four-time 20-game winner, three-time All-Star and led the American League twice in ERA – 1.60 in 1968 with Cleveland and 1.91 in 1972 in Boston, where he became a legend and fan favorite, helping lead the Red Sox to the 1975 World World.
