For those not old enough to remember him, he was a bit of a baseball celebrity in the 70's. I mostly remember him for the moustache and quirky wind-up. Tiant won 20 or more games four times and threw 187 complete games (more than Don Sutton, Don Drysdale, Lefty Gomez or Dizzy Dean) and 49 shutouts (more than Roger Clemens, Whitey Ford, Catfish Hunter, Sandy Koufax or Bob Feller). In 1968 Tiant went 21-9, with a microscopic E.R.A. of his own, 1.60 — the lowest in the American League in more than 100 years.
