We are deeply saddened by the loss of Luis Tiant.
Anyone who met him, on or off the mound, knew he was a true force. A fixture of Fenway and Fort Myers well beyond his playing days, El Tiante was family.
We send our love to his wife, Maria, their children, and grandchildren.

Sorry to hear this. He was a legend from the classic era.
He had a fantastic 1968 season.
RIP Luis
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
"El Tiante". Condolences to all family and fans.
An excellent pitcher. Very sad… RIP
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I saw him pitch one time. He was a great player for the Red Sox and spent many days at Fenway even after he retired.
RIP Luis!
My autographed index card.
My nominee for the best pitcher not in the Hall of Fame. He was a borderline case.
RIP
Descanse en paz.
RIP
i vividly recall Tiant's pitching style on the mound. At one point I decided to collect his Basic and Master Sets...it took me several years, with the Venezuelan cards most difficult to get, I did finish and was proud to have his cards.
Always a fan favorite, I wish he'd gotten into the Hall, but it wasn't to be.
RIP Luis.
