Everyone has been saying he was completely fine prior to his surgery. Obviously, knowing there was cancer and needing the surgery to address it. As much as I hate to speculate, I have a feeling that the surgery had some major complications that led to this. We will never know. It’s just really freaking sad. He will always be my favorite Red Sox.

Funny how the Sox don't let anyone wear the number 21 any longer. We all saw what Clemens turned out to be. They should AT ONCE retire the number 49, as He did a hell of a lot more than be a star pitcher for Boston. Should have done it while he was alive to see it. ⚾

And David Crosby’s passing - but he was kind of a jerk. Wakefield was the guy I always expected on the mound the following season in a game where the rosters seem to become more and more like musical chairs. Wake was always there. And when he retired, we saw him in the studio giving his knowledge and optimism. I’m going to miss you Wake.

Anyone who didn’t see him play, watch him over the years and learn about who the player and the man were, it’s hard to describe just how beloved Tim Wakefield was. He was the heart, the soul of not just the team but all the fans too. Had he been ANY other player to give up that Boone HR in game 7 to lose them they would have recieved the Buckner treatment (as wrong as the hate for Buckner was). But bc it was Tim, the whole city knew how crushed he was and knew he was a HUGE reason they’d even made it to that point. He came back in 04 and that season was just magical. The whole city electricity, the hunger was insatiable and the genuine guts that those guys had was just unreal.

Wake was my fav player along with Billy Mueller. for one simple reason Loyalty. Loyalty has always been huge to me as a person so when a guy stays with our team for 17 seasons he becomes a part of your everyday life. I was 16 in HS when the Sox signed him and and 33 going through the loss of my fiance to heart disease when he retired. He was part of my life just as the Sox were for a lot of good years through adulthood. It broke my heart in 03 when he gave up that HR to Boone and Wakefield took it hard like he did I still remember that interview he did with tears in his eyes and all he could say was "sorry" He understood Sox nation and knew how close we had come and didn't want to let people down...It was then that I knew Tim was a real one. You bet your ass the next year in 04 when we won (after I cried) I looked for Tim in the celebration because I wanted to see the JOY on his face after the loss the year before. At that point, he was our longest-tenured player and after all he had done for us over the years, nobody deserved it more than him. They won again in 07 and then a few years later we see Tim get his 200th win and call it a career. I shed a tear for Tek and Wake when they left as it was another watermark in life for me and the team. Here I sit at 44 learning about the passing of number 49 due to cancer while my own mom recently diagnosed with cancer herself had her first chemo treatment only to find out that her white blood cell count wasn't high enough. The chemo destroyed her because of this. She now clings to life in an ICU on a breathing machine. It's funny how life has its little parallels huh?

Tears in my eyes watching this....I've been a Sox fan since '78 (great time to jump on the bus, right?) and I've cheered for so many players - Yaz, Rice, Pudge. Dewey. Boggs, Clemens, Papi, Pedro and hundreds of others. But there was something special about Wake. In '03, my first thought when Boone homered wasn't about the curse, it wasn't about Grady Little, it wasn't "woe is us", it was "damn...Wake doesn't deserve this. Why him?". That man did everything the team ever asked of him and then some. He was as much a leader of the club as anyone and his true character as a human being is something men would want their children to emulate. It was like a gut punch when I saw the headline (I didn't know that Schilling had said anything). Like I said, tears in my eyes.

I'm not a big fan of retiring numbers... People wear my uncle's number (in a sport you've likely never seen) and commentators sometimes talk about him - there's a carrying on of a legacy if the number is worn (so long as it is). That said, there's more to cheer for on baseball field than just the star players and their stats. Retiring Tim's number would affirm that - for what he didn't have as a pitcher he had everything else - on and off the field.

Two of my best baseball memories are from Tim Wakefield. I was at the game at Three Rivers where he pitched a complete game shut out in '92. I was 13 and became a Tim Wakefield fan for life. A year or two later when he was in triple A, Buffalo was playing my home team, the Nashville Sounds. My family went to the game because Wakefield was starting. He did not have a good game. I managed to catch a foul ball that day. After the game I was able to get word into the dugout that I wanted Tim to autograph it. He came back out from the locker room and signed it even though he was clearly frustrated with his performance that day. Today, it is my most prized baseball memory, and is another illustration of the quality of his character.

A true hero on and off the field- RIP Wake. I’ll never forget him taking the ball in the mop-up situation the Sox encountered in game 3 of the 2004 ALCS at Fenway. With the Yanks “celebrating too early” he took the mound as professionally as he would in his subsequent championship work and got the job done, even with the ghost of 2003 Aaron Boone in the house. With all the BS behavior so prevalent in pro sports these days, let’s all remember a gifted, generous athlete as the role model he deserved to be.
