Tiant the Hero and Tragic Family Saga at Fenway
Luis Tiant, a 36 year old Cuban born pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, rose from Mexico City to stardom with a unique pickoff move and a dramatic World Series against the Cincinnati Reds. His career includes a late bloom after arm trouble at 31, a lengthy run of 20 victory summers, and a family tragedy as both parents died within days of Christmas after a Cuba reunion arranged with Fidel Castro and Senator George McGovern.
