Asking professional athletes about how they liked playing in Boston can draw a range of reactions.
Some say Boston fans and their passion make the city one of the best places in the world for sports. Others have publicly expressed that they’ve found parts of the experience to be problematic.
For former Red Sox pitcher Luis Tiant, the memories seem to be positive.
The Red Sox Hall-of-Famer opened up about why he loved playing in Boston during an appearance on Audacy’s The Bret Boone Podcast.
“From the bottom of my heart, when I came into Boston, that was the best thing to happen to me in my baseball career,” Tiant said.
