Default Tim WakeField has passed away

Was never a fan of any team he pitched for but he always seemed like a really nice guy.

I heard about Schilling revealing Wakefield having brain cancer a couple days ago. 57 years old, thanks for the fantastic memories Tim.
His wife Stacy is battling pancreatic cancer too, not fair...

RIP... was cool to watch a knuckle baller as a kid. I'm sure he inspired tons of kids to learn to throw it. Those Red Sox teams were always fun to watch.

Loss of a real Red Sox legend, and a loss to baseball of his wealth of pitching knowledge.

A red sox legend and a staple in Boston. Really really sad to see this. Wish his family the deepest of condolences

Same age as my old man when he passed.
Feels like a bigger gut punch than usual hearing about an athlete going.

RIP Tim. Remember when he came to the Red Sox. Seems like yesterday...

Damn - my cousins husband was able to meet him for a work event and sounds like he was a great guy. My thoughts go out to his family.

As a Yankee fan, utmost respect for a guy that couldn't break a pane of glass and yet forged an incredible career. Sad day.
