Yanks Sign Tiant
Luis Tiant, former pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, signed a two-year contract with the New York Yankees yesterday.
Tiant, 38, entered the free-agent draft when the Red Sox management refused to offer him anything more than a one-year contract, because of his age. The herky-jerky motioned pitcher was not selected until the eighth round and by only one team--the Yanks.
