Also, apologies for having to edit out the Boone Homer around 11:24. Had a small issue with the footage, but I'm sure you all know what happened!

Tim Wakefield's first start as a Red Sox came literally 18 hours after I was born. Tim has been a major figure to me and thousands of people in the Boston area who grew up watching that unpredictable pitch and rooting for him everytime he came to the mound. We don't break the curse without him. I will never forget Tim and so many of us are grateful to have gotten to see him at his best. RIP to a one of kind player and human being.

Rest In Peace it was great to watch you pitch

RIP Wakefield, a true Red Sox in and out, one of my favorites growing up

Wakefield is a great example of a ballplayer the Analytics can't account for. By the numbers he is a solid mid-back of the rotation starter. What the numbers won't tell you is the work ethic and determination a guy like that has, and how that effects his teammates. You might feel defeated, but you know Wakefield is gonna give it his all, so by pride or camaraderie you are gonna fight with him.

He was a legend.

I feel terrible for him and his family, life cut too short. 😢

RIP Tim Wakefield, there will never be another

[ReverendBrown.]

RIP TW. You leave behind many wonderful memories for baseball fans everywhere.

Former catcher Bob Uecker said the best way to catch a knuckleball was to wait for it to stop rolling and pick it up.

I hope one day as a Red Sox fan the Sox retire number 49. Wake did it all for the Sox and did not complain about it. Truly a great teammate.

[KWK]

Wakefield was a hell of a teammate. He knew his limits, and found ways to leverage his value for the benefit of the teams he was on when it counted. He wasn't flashy, greedy, or arrogant. Just a cool dude, hope the Sox retire his number someday soon.

There wasn’t a single fan in Boston who was mad at Wakefield in 2003. We were pissed at the team and the situation, and Grady Little more than anything. But this dude was really respected

RIP to a true legend of the game. Gone way too soon.

[sadie]

[ElysianDivine]

RIP Tim Wakefield. A great player and even greater person.

[Tobeterry-vb]

The thing that made Tim Wakefield great was he developed a "Fastball" which was like 82 on the gun and 5000 at the plate, the amount of people who were caught looking by that thing was hilarious.

[jacksmiley]

I’m so saddened to hear of his loss as a Red Sox fan, this video though has made me so happy to see wake as he was always a hero to me

[TigerofRobare]

A slight correction: Wakefield was selected for the All-Star Game in 2009. He didn't appear in the game.

The thing we Boston fans loved about him, though, wasn't his numbers (although they were usually good against the Yankees, which helps), but his selflessness. He did everything he could to help the team win, whether it was going deep into games to save the bullpen, releiving between starts or giving up starts in the postseason.

[TopherOKeefe]

This is gonna hit differently right now, I’m sure.

We will always love you, Tim.
