Marly Rivera: How did you find out that Fidel Castro had died? What came to your mind?

Luis Tiant: My son Luis sent me a text message telling me that Fidel Castro was dead. I can tell you that I thought more about what’s coming next; what may happen now. How we have to prepare for what comes next and how things are going to develop. We cannot anticipate what will happen. But we knew this was coming, it’s been many years, a lot of time has passed. We were all waiting for it.
