Red Sox family in mourning as Tim Wakefield passes away
One Tim Wakefield story I remember is after he had a great 2003 ALCS, but Boston desperately needed him to come and pitch relief, he gave up the homer to Boone and he was legit worried that Boston fans would hate him, but absolutely no one did. Nothing but love for Tim Wakefield. Rest in Peace legend.Our hearts are broken with the loss of Tim Wakefield.

He was champion on and off the field, that gave everything to this organization and the community.
Seeing the support that came out for him the last few days tells you everything you need to know. F**k cancer forever. pic.twitter.com/CBsFrrlp8g
The Red Sox are sharing the heartbreaking news that knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, a fan favorite for his work on and off the field, has died. The update comes just days after it was revealed Wakefield had been diagnosed with brain cancer. 💔 #RIP pic.twitter.com/t4wsC6gJqm

Tim Wakefield was a community hero
— Dan Roche (@RochieWBZ) October 1, 2023
Won MLB’s highest community honor - the Roberto Clemente Award in 2010
Was a @TheJimmyFund Captain, and was involved with “Pitching In For Kids”and “Wakefield Warriors”
And he loved his family - wife Stacy, and kids Trevor and Brianna. RIP https://t.co/01BHzk5Qrg
Sticking with baseball for a moment, the late Tim Wakefield’s 16-1 Red Sox start in 1995 stands as the greatest stretch of knuckleball pitching in baseball history. Don’t bother to argue.
