Tim Wakefield, who spent 29 with the Red Sox organization as a player, broadcaster and community leader, died at the age of 57, the club announced Sunday.
“Tim’s kindness and indomitable spirit were as legendary as his knuckleball,” said Red Sox Principal Owner John Henry. “He not only captivated us on the field but was the rare athlete whose legacy extended beyond the record books to the countless lives he touched with his warmth and genuine spirit. He had a remarkable ability to uplift, inspire, and connect with others in a way that showed us the true definition of greatness.
Wakefield was two-time World Series champion in 2004 and 2007. A 2009 All-Star with Boston, Wakefield was named the American League’s Comeback Player of the Year in 1995, his first of 17 seasons with the Red Sox. In 2010, Major League Baseball recognized him as one of the most charitable players in the game with the Roberto Clemente Award, his eighth time being nominated for the prestigious honor.
