Knuckleballer. #49, of the Boston Red Sox, Tim Wakefield has officially retired. This is sad. He was a great pitcher who did whatever the organization wanted him to. Known for his knuckleball, Wakefield quickly became one of the most respected pitchers in Red Sox history. He played for the Pirates from 1992 to 1993. He was about ready to throw in the towel on his career. But he stayed determined and ended up playing for the Red Sox for 16 years. He racked up a lot of stats. 2009 All-Star, 2004 and 2007 World Series champion, 2010 Roberto Clemente award, and 1995 Comeback Player of the Year award, and an even 200 wins on the career. Thank you, Tim Wakefield.Mike Cameron, former Red Sox outfielder, has also retired.
He was great. Here's to a great retirement for him! And to a great future for the Sox!
