Luis Eleuterio Tiant (August 27, 1906 – December 10, 1976) was a pitcher in Negro league baseball, as well as Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. He also performed with barnstorming teams. Tiant's career extended from 1926 through 1948. In the Negro Leagues, he played for the Havana Red Sox, Cuban Stars West and New York Cubans, between 1928 and 1947.[1][2]
