Tim Wakefield announced his retirement from Major League Baseball today. Aside from being the longest serving player on the Red Sox with 17 seasons under his belt (he started playing for the team in 1995), he is a man who has shown a lot of class in a sport better known for players who do the exact opposite.
Wakefield may go down as one of my all-time favorite Red Sox players. His knuckle ball could confound teams (esp. the New York Yankees) and was so much fun to watch. I will definitely miss this man who had more than 200 career wins with the Red Sox.

Tim has always been my favorite Red Sock of all. He had great stuff, was articulate when talking to the media, had great loyalty. And then there was the fact that he looked just great in those close shots of him up on the mound. 🙂
