Luis Tiant, Legendary Red Sox Pitcher, Dies at 83

The Cuban-born ace, known for his unique delivery and charismatic presence, leaves a lasting legacy in baseball history.

Luis Tiant, the winningest Cuban-born pitcher in MLB history, passed away at the age of 83, as announced by the Boston Red Sox.
Tiant was celebrated for his theatrical pitching style, which included a distinctive windup and an array of pitches that baffled batters throughout his 19-year career.
He was a three-time All-Star and twice led the American League in ERA, with notable performances during the 1975 World Series for the Red Sox.
Despite his achievements, Tiant was never inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, a point of contention among fans and sportswriters.
Tributes poured in from former teammates, the Red Sox organization, and the broader baseball community, highlighting his impact both on and off the field.
