Interesting fact, Tiant lived about a half mile from Karaban for about 10 years. No idea why he lived here. On Halloween the kids would all go to his house because he gave out big candy bars. I met him once. He came to Little League opening day in town in 2011, which was the year after our town won the Massachusetts LL title. The people in his neighborhood said he was always nice to everyone.

He made pitching for the Sox an event 20 years before Pedro. 1975 was special because of Luis and the World Series against The Reds. Everything I read talks about what a great guy he was.

RIP El Tiante
