[edit] Pronunciation

I'm no expert in Spanish, but I do live in south Texas, and I'm around it all the time. I always thought Luis Tiant would be pronounced "loo-EES TEE-ahnt" - not the suggested pronunciation of "loo-IS tee-ANT". To me, this suggests saying it like you would say "Lewis" in English, and to put the emphasis on the "ant" in Tiant? It doesn't make sense to me, but then again, maybe he pronounced it like that. He was just before my time. Maybe someone could shed some light on this? JRed 03:08, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lidle

Fact

   * According to Elias Sports Bureau's Rob Tracy, only four pitchers have pitched four or more straight shutouts in the 40-year expansion era:

   Cory Lidle (four, 2002)
   Orel Hershiser (five, 1988)
   Gaylord Perry (four, 1970)
   Luis Tiant (four, 1966) 

I removed Lidle because it simply isn't true. He only had 2 shutouts in 2002. It is true that he had 4 straight starts where he allowed no runs, but those weren't shutouts since he only pitched 7-8 innings in some of them (and he wasn't credited with a CG due to rain delays and such) The "Fact" is simply wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.65.240.196 (talk) 01:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
