I couldn’t hate Curt Shilling, any more than I do, now… As a lifelong Sox fan, I cast aside CS’s politics, in deference of the bloody sock… CS’s disrespect, and disregard for Wake’s family’s wishes, to keep information private…, drops Shilling way below the line of decency… F him, and his selfishness…
Nobody should ever die young at all. We must absolutely find a cure for cancer right now!!!!!!!
A Roberto Clemente award winner. What a good man. And what a career he had. From his days in Pittsburgh and all his years in Boston. RIP Wake 😢
Sox Nation lost the mlb king of the knuckle ball. And a true role model for the game. Kids and players should be inspired by how much of a professional he was. Wakefield was was baseball.😢
So sad & infuriating this familiy's last baseball interaction before his death was that a-hole Curt Shilling devastating their privacy… something VERY important to him 😕
The SOX should retire 49. R.I.P. Wake
I've been watching Tim since I was a young teenager very sad for him to pass away rest in peace
Don’t be mad at Curt Schilling. He’s just a MAGA clown doing MAGA things.
Staggered by this. 😢 Thanks Wake for all the fantastic memories and for being so dedicated to the community.
So sad!! RIP.
Tim Wakefield was always fun to watch pitch, gone way way too soon.
Very saddening loss of a great guy
Wakefield's rookie season came in 1992. That season he posted an ERA of 2.15 and pitched 2 complete game shutouts in the NLCS. That's how his career started. Who does that their rookie season? A flash in the pan? Nope. Try a 200-game winner who finished his career with over 3,200 innings pitched and multiple world championships including the Red Sox curse breaking championship. He also earned a Roberto Clemente award for his incredible work off the field. When I think of the most recent knuckleballers in baseball I can only think of two. Tim Wakefield and R.A. Dickey. It's such a difficult skill to master I think we have to go all the way back to Phil Niekro to find the last true knuckleballer before Wakefield. Between Niekro and Dickey there is only one knuckleballer in all of baseball in my mind. That's Tim Wakefield.
Man everyone that loves baseball loves Tim Wakefield. When Wake pitched and you could watch, as a baseball fan, your gonna watch and your loving it. Blown away by the utterly unique knuckleballer. Plus he was humble and genuine. He was also a part of that legendary, beautiful Red Sox team. RIP
I remember seeing Tim Wakefield before he was in Boston playing on a really talented Pittsburgh Pirates club. The last great knuckleballer. God Bless his soul, may he Rest In Peace. ☦️
Yankee fan here. Wake was a class act and a magician on the mound. Worthy competitor who will be a permanent fixture in the amazing Boston community. So sad to learn.
Thank you Tim for being a great role model. You made me ask more of myself❤
I saw Tim Wakefield pitch at a Buffalo Bisons game in 1992, when I was 13 years old. It was fun to watch him. Although I’m a Yankee fan, i genuinely felt bad for him giving up that Boone HR in the 11th in ‘03. RIP
He will be sorely missed by Red Sox Nation everywhere. God speed Tim
Move over Jerry Remy, Tim Wakefield is coming in heaven.
Coming from a Yankees fan, Tim was no joke when I first started watching him that knuckleball he used was dangerous.
I am a born and bred New York Yankee fan. But I anyone who loves baseball–or humanity–loves Tim Wakefield. An authentic mensch. Rest in Peace Tim Wakefield.
