I went to see this great documentary film on Monday night and met the directors, producers and the star of the show, Luis Tiant. The film was a sports film - produced in conjunction with ESPN - but, more importantly, was a film about family, coming home and politics as well.
My family and I really enjoyed it. It brought back lots of memories to me about growing up in Lowell, Mass; going to Red Sox games; and then watching the Sox play the Reds in the World Series from my dorm room at Georgetown University. Luis Tiant was truly then “EL TIANTE”.
I am going to the Nationals game tonight to see them play the Red Sox. I will be rooting for the home team but a little bit of me smiles when I see the Sawx play!
