“Luis Tiant, November 23, 1940. Mariano Cuba just passed away a week ago from today. At the age of 83, pitcher, righty, six foot, 180.
And 1964 through 82, El Tiante. Three time All-Star, two time ERA title winner. War number 33 and 23 and 38.

Hall of Fame Standards, he's at 41. Average Hall of Famer, 50. Gray Ink, 112.
Average Hall of Famer, 185. So he's kind of just right there. Black Ink only has him at 13.
Average Hall of Famer, 40. Similar players, Catfish Hunter, Jim[…]”
