LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- In the 1970s, the man the Red Sox wanted on the mound in a big game was Luis Tiant.
The charismatic righty with a unique windup, in which his back would be contorted as he fired the ball to home plate, put up similar numbers to Hall of Famers such as Catfish Hunter, Jim Bunning and Don Drysdale.

Once again, however, Tiant's impressive body of work was not enough to land him in the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was one of 10 candidates on the Modern Era Committee's ballot, and it was announced Sunday night that right-hander Jack Morris and shortstop Alan Trammell are the only two members on the ballot to join the Class of 2018.
