Revision as of 17:52, 24 October 2004
Timothy Stephen "Tim" Wakefield (born August 2, 1966) is a knuckleball-throwing right-handed Major League Baseball pitcher. Wakefield was born in Melbourne, Florida.
Wakefield started his major league career with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1992. He signed as a free agent for the Boston Red Sox in 1995. He won 16 games in his first year with Boston and helped them win a division title. His longevity and consistency have helped him quietly become one of the top pitchers in Red Sox history.
On August 8, 2004, Wakefield gave up six home runs to the Detroit Tigers, the first pitcher to do so since 1947. His Red Sox still managed to win the game, though, 11-9. Wakefield got the win.
In 2004, Wakefield helped the Red Sox win the American League
pennant, as Boston beat the New York Yankees in a best of 7
game series to advance to the world series.
