HERMOSA BEACH, CA, USA, June 9, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Baseball multimedia website will air Part I of an interview with Tiant on their Tuesdays With Leroy Video Podcast.

Chris Vitali, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of BallNine LLC, announced that BallNine will be featuring a video production with Luis Tiant on Tuesday, June 9, 2020 at 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET. Tiant sits down with Vitali as his guest on Tuesdays with Leroy for part one of a light-hearted, yet controversial one-hour interview.
“Luis Tiant is one of the most beloved sports figures in Boston history and one of the greatest Cuban athletes of all time,” said Vitali. “His life has been truly amazing, both on and off the field and he holds a lot of strong opinions. He expresses many of them on Tuesdays with Leroy. We talk about baseball, his exclusion from the Hall of Fame, and his life after being exiled from Cuba including his 14-year separation from his parents and their emotional reunion at the 1975 World Series. Luis is an interesting, opinionated character to say the least, and BallNine is honored to celebrate him.”
The 79-year-old Tiant arrived in the United States in 1961 when he was signed by the Cleveland Indians after masterful performances in both Mexico and his native Cuba.
