The Ballad of Tim Wakefield

After watching last night's 2-1 win, Bill Janovitz of Buffalo Tom wrote and sang an ode to Wake:

Dylan has written all about Catfish
I may never write like Bobby, WAKE like Pedro won't pitch
But true Red Sox fans will always know what they wish
To have nine players just like Timmy Wakefield
Nine players just like Timmy Wakefield
Give me nine players just like Timmy Wakefield

You want to know the kind of guy Tim Wakefield is? Once, a couple of years back, he and a few of his teammates went to visit some cancer-stricken children at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the home of The Jimmy Fund. Now, all of them were nice guys to go and visit sick children. However, there was one child who was receiving treatment during their visit and who didn't get to meet the Red Sox players. While his teammates all left after the appointed time, Wakefield stayed at the hospital for an additional 3 or 4 hours, until that one child came out of treatment.

In a game that sometimes seems to be overpopulated by bratty little kids in adult bodies, Wake is a real MAN.

he has spent a lot of hours with the kids at franciscans children’s hospital over the years. he is a class act. too bad more guys cant look at a guy like him and try to live up to the same expectations. there are too many bad guys in sports and not enough wakefields. i hope he pitches until he is 60.
