"Tiant became a beloved figure in Boston due to his windmill windup, a flair for the dramatics, and his standing as the ace of the Red Sox' pitching staff during the '70s. The Cuban-born righty won 229 games over his 19-year career, posting four 20-win campaigns and twice winning the ERA title in the American League."
"Any Classic Baseball Era candidate who receives votes on 75 percent of the ballots cast by the committee will earn election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 27, 2025."
"Despite his impressive resume and standing as one of Boston's first Latino sports stars, Tiant never garnered much consideration for Cooperstown after his playing career wrapped. During his 15 years on the BBWAA ballot, he never garnered more than the 30.9 percent of vote."
