He gave so much to the game and all of Red Sox Nation."On the mound, Wakefield could be nearly unhittable … thanks to his knuckleball.
Of course, it wasn't publicly known that the former All-Star was sick until Schilling, on his podcast last week, revealed Tim was battling cancer and fighting for his life, seemingly against the Wakefield family's wishes.Curt even acknowledged"I don't even know if he wants it shared," but explained he was Christian and remarked ..."I've seen prayer work and so I'm going to talk about it.
