RIP

My daughter passed away from cancer. She was 17 years old. His baseball career was meaningless, next to the joy that he gave the kids at the jimmy Fund. Careers come and go, but your love, will endure forever.

As a Yankees fan since 1977, I remain heart-broken for this double loss. Life sometimes simply isn't fair, but the legacy we all leave behind is reflective in how we lived while we lived. And he and his wife lived well, honorably and honestly. I hope there is an afterlife where they are free of the bodies that betrayed them, and I hope their kids remain strong in navigating a world without their parents. Much love from all Yankees fans.

Not just the kids 🤣

What a great Red Sox player, but what an even greater human being. RIP, champion, along with your beautiful wife. Your life is worth emulating.

There goes Tim Wakefield, the greatest Red Sox player who ever lived. Thank you for everything, you were a heck of a player and an even better human.

I love the example he set and wish I could have met him. RIP Tim, you were a huge inspiration to me

Tim lived in the same town as my parents. One day in 2013, I went to the theater with my mom and noticed Tim standing in the lobby. I ran out to the car to get a baseball out of my backpack and asked him to sign it. I told him that as a Yankees fan, he was always a joy to watch pitch. He was extremely gracious and kind and signed my ball with a smile. RIP Tim and Stacy Wakefield

He was a gentleman amongst gentleman!! A great pitcher and even better human being!! Thanks for the memories Wake!!

RIP Tim and Stacy Wakefield. I wept while watching this. Watched and went to a ton of Red Sox games growing up as I don't live far away from Boston. Year in and year out there was always that constant in the pitching rotation, Wakefield. Feels like I lost an uncle even tho I never met him.

Still the Sox pitcher I’ve seen start most at Fenway. Rest easy to a true gem of a man.

More people need to know about this.

We love you terry,,, miss you wake

Been a Sox fan since I was a kid back in the 1970's. Wake is one of my favorite players ever. I LOVED watching him pitch. What a man too, he and his wife were beautiful people.

Awesome piece Tito! God speed Wakefields 🙏

Beautiful tribute. Tim Wakefield passed from the same form of cancer (GBM) that took my husband, and that will forever connect them in my mind and in my heart. RIP Tim and Stacy Wakefield, and may God bless Brianna and Trevor.

I got to interview Tim for a high school project and he couldn't have been more gracious and pleasant to speak with.

A life long Oriole fan I could not get through five minutes of this before the tears came. I almost wish we had lost the game today. Wake was everything you want in a player and a person. Gone to soon he and Brooks can talk baseball now. Both Tim and Stacy were such nice people and that damn Cancer just does not care.

Tim Wakefield deserves The Presidental Medal of Freedom for his work and service to the Boston Red Sox and I mean it!!!!!!!

Well great. Now I have to go back to work having been sobbing. Thanks Tito! Thank you Wake!! Thank you Stacy!!!

So nice of you so sad for their children RIP both of you and God bless your children

As a baseball fan, the story of 2004 Red Sox ending their 86 year drought, after a 3-0 ALCS series comeback over arch rival Yankees, is the best story in modern day baseball. And it's not remotely close.

The Red sox completed the comeback cause the pitching was deeper on There staff and bullpen

As a long time, life long, Yankees fan, I was extremely sad to hear of his passing. A true competitor and a class act. And for his wife to lose her battle so soon afterwards I can only say I will pray for your family, go with Gods Speed Tim and Stacy

Brings tears to my eyes. RIP Wake, Thank you Mr Francona

Simply an amazing human being. This put tears in my eyes. Well said.

Pure class.

Well said Terry! Wow!

Everything you said Terry is true. Wake was special but so are you! Let's go Red Sox!

Sending prayers to their children. May God watch over them. Thank you Terry Francona for doing the voice-over for this video. You're right, it still feels like a punch to the gut all this time later. RIP to Tim and Stacy.

I hung out with Tim a few years ago at a golf tournament and can say he was pure class

Ya got me in the feels, Tito. RIP, Mr and Mrs Wakefield. Forever remember fondly

While I got through this video, albeit, barely without 😢 like a baby, I couldn't help it during the pregame ceremonies when I watched them on MLB Network. I almost completely lost it when Tim and Stacy's children, Trevor, and Brianna walked out onto the field, and Brianna threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Jason Veritek. You can DEFINITELY see and feel the love they received from Wake's former teammates, especially Pedro, Tek, Trot Nixon, and Mike Timlin. They, along with the Wakefield family will help in ANYWAY the can to help them. not j😢during the mext few months, but always. RIP, Tim and Stacy Wakefield. 😪🥲❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️⚾️😇

Incredible tribute to an amazing human being by another amazing human being

RIP to him and his wife

Absolutely Outstanding

Been a Sox fan for 50 years and Wake is my favorite player ever!!! RIP WAKE #49 🙏🏻

Beautiful tribute from one class act to another. RIP Wake. ❤

Tim was a huge positive inspiration to so many people. I love tim

Yankee fan here, he was a great pitcher and better human being. RIP Tim and Stacy

Tim Wakefield was the man and contributed so much and was a huge part of the Sox and bringing home the World Series!! Thank you Wake and may you always RIP you have def left your mark here!!

Miss and love ya, Wake. May you and Stacy rest in peace. Thoughts and prayers to their kids. 🙏

I always loved watching Wake pitch. RIP to the Wakefields!

Tim was fantastic man. I miss his pitching and commentary

Grew up watching him and that distinctive knuckle ball all throughout the 90s, watching him play against the Yanks. I’m a grown man now and so, I truly hope him and his wife are resting peacefully.

This was good

RIP . Well miss you forever.

So true!! Thanks mr Francona for sharing❤🙏🏼

RIP, Wake and Stacy. Thank you, Tito.

Amen and much Love

I opened up a box that's been in my attic for 30+ years. The items were wrapped in the newspaper of the day. One of the newspaper wrappers was the August 1992 sports page of the Albany times union. In it was an article about the Pittsburgh pirates new knuckleball pitcher Tim Wakefield. Being a diehard sox fan this was like finding an old silver dollar in your backyard. Ill frame it and add it to my Red Sox shrine.

Really nice video. Tim is one of our hometown heros (Central Florida). So sad that the kids lost them both.

When Wake passed away I heard it reported that Stacy was also ill. Until watching this video I did not know she had passed as well. There are no words to convey what Tim meant to the club and to Red Sox fans everywhere, and there are no words to describe the tragedy of them both dying so young. Thanks to Terry Francona for this. Just sitting here crying now.

this is unimaginable for the precious children. im so sorry my heart bleeds.

Rest easy Tim.

all time great - will never be forgotten

Awesome pitcher

Well said Terry. So sad.

Beautiful

Tears

Rip buddy

From one Fla Tech grad to another REST IN PEACE

Will always remember him.

一路好走

I am not crying, your crying

Damn

So tragic.

Nice video, Tito. Watching Wake pitch was always a rollercoaster ride but he never made excuses when he got shelled and never gloated when he won. MLB could use more like him today instead of these overpaid hotdogs running around the bases doing dances, flapping their arms and just trying to grab more attention to themselves. MLB is too chickensh*t to address this.

Wow its dusty as hell in here.....
