El Tiante In 1975, the Boston Red
Sox played in one of the most exciting World Series
of the modern era. Their "ace" pitcher
that year, with a whirling dervish motion, was
Luis Tiant -- one of the game's most effective
pitchers, winning 229 games in his 19 year career
(1964-1982). He wore this jersey during that magical
1975 season. Tiant was known for chewing tobacco
while pitching and a tobacco stain is visible
beneath the letter "x" on the jersey.
