"The Luis Tiant story has always been begging to be told in full, and now it has. In collaboration with Saul Wisnia, the ebullient righthander has let us learn about his life in Son of Havana .... It was a career (229-172, 3.30, 49 shutouts) and life well-led, and it should have culminated with him giving an acceptance speech on a July Sunday in Cooperstown a long time ago...Meanwhile, he has a great story to tell. You'll like it." --Bob Ryan, Boston Globe "I have said it before and I'll always say it: If you wanted one person to start a big game, it would be Luis Tiant. Nobody was a tougher competitor--or a better teammate. He meant so much to us, and to the fans. We all loved him." --Carl Yastrzemski, from the Foreword "Luis is a legend, someone we respect and someone we look up to. It's hard to imagine, when you look at him, so many things he did that were great for baseball, in his time." --Pedro Martinez "All of a sudden people who had given up on them--they're riding the crest. It was clearly Luis Tiant's wave. I remember a friend of mine who lived about three blocks away, talking about leaving the window open in his apartment and hearing the entire crowd chanting, 'LOO-EEE! LOO-EEE!' across the fence. . . . It was such a resurrection story of a career coming back. This man who was so proud and so great and lost his career--was almost out of baseball--he was theater unto himself. Yaz was great, Fisk was great, but they didn't chant for them--and you couldn't hear it blocks away." --Peter Gammons "Tiant's life makes for an incredible story and the book captures it well." --Peter Abraham, Boston Globe "It was like Luis was the father, Luis was the son, Luis was the brother, you know? It was so personal, that's what it was! It was so personal. To see that spontaneous reception, loud and heartfelt--to have that happen to Luis was just spectacular." --Carlton Fisk "A lively memoir...[that] recounts his colorful, bittersweet life on the mound and beyond." -- Washington Post "If you are a baseball fan...you will find much that is thrilling and much that is uplifting in Luis Tiant's story...The writing style has the sort of punch that fans of big-league sports will like...An impressive memoir...The truly interesting story here for non-baseball fans is the one about an unwilling exile from his homeland who makes good despite many reverses, then returns in triumph to the place where his roots lie." --InfoDad blog "In the new book Son of Havana, Tiant details for the first time his complete baseball odyssey." --Brooklyn Digest"Tiant is a genuine baseball legend... Son of Havana: A Baseball Journey from Cuba to the Big Leagues and Back is a story that will rock your emotions...Offer[s] a wonderful trip back in time to what the game was like a half century ago, and what a dark-skinned Latino player had to deal with in baseball and society...Everything about Son of Havana screams 'must read.'"-- Utica Observer-Dispatch "A very engaging sports memoir. The baseball stuff is well presented: the games recalled and replayed in memory through the long arc of an inspiring athletic career."--Internet Review of Books, "I have said it before and I'll always say it: If you wanted one person to start a big game, it would be Luis Tiant. Nobody was a tougher competitor--or a better teammate. He meant so much to us, and to the fans.

It was so personal, that's what it was! It was so personal. To see that spontaneous reception, loud and heartfelt--to have that happen to Luis was just spectacular." --Carlton Fisk "Cuba has contributed a long list of beguiling and accomplished players to the Big Leagues, not the least being Luis "El Tiante" Tiant, the '70s-era Red Sox pitching ace. Son of Havana, a lively memoir, recounts his colorful, bittersweet life on the mound and beyond." --the Washington Post, "The Luis Tiant story has always been begging to be told in full, and now it has.
