In Boston, we remember his Red Sox career from 1971-78. Specifically, the 1975 season when Tiant had 18 wins and 18 complete games. The Red Sox took the Big Red Machine -- the Cincinnati Reds -- to a seventh and deciding game in one of the greatest World Series ever.

Major League Baseball pitching legend Luis Tiant died at age 83 at his home in Maine on Tuesday morning. The Cuba native's MLB pitching career spanned across 19 years, though he played primarily with the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians.

Cuban-born and charismatic, with a personal tale caught up in politics, he was a dominant hurler with a quirky windup who helped lead the Red Sox to a pennant in 1975.
