Tim Wakefield was a beloved figure in Red Sox baseball, known for his outstanding knuckleball and significant contributions to two World Series victories. He was actively involved in charity work and set a standard of hard work and generosity within the organization. A fateful moment in 2003, when Wakefield gave up a home run to Aaron Boone, devastated fans but indirectly impacted the Yankees when they hired Boone as manager in 2018. Wakefield's loss is deeply felt, and there is a strong sentiment that his number 49 should be retired.
Tim Wakefield's contributions to the Red Sox included two World Series victories and a lasting legacy marked by hard work, kindness, and dedication to charity.
Wakefield's 2003 season ended heartbreakingly with a game-losing home run to Aaron Boone, which, paradoxically, set the stage for the Yankees' managerial choices.
