Tim Wakefield is an All-Star!! (oh, and 5 other Sox players too)

Well, he's had sixteen and a half years to prepare for July 14th in St. Louis. Tim Wakefield's solid 10-3 record has placed him tied for the lead in wins in the American League and deservedly gotten him into the All-Star Game.
Of course, he wasn't going to be allowed in to his first All-Star Game without a little rookie hazing from Francona in the clubhouse today. Joining Wakefield at the All-Star game are 5 other players, making the most from any one club this year: Jonathan Papelbon, Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, Jason Bay, and Josh Beckett. Congrats to the Red Sox, but congratulations most of all to Tim Wakefield.

Wake!
Fine human being, aside from being a swell team player. I wouldn't be much happier even if they had chosen ME to play in the game :-)

Yes!
I've followed Tim Wakfield since 1992, even though I live in L.A. and am a Dodger fan. I am thrilled that Tim has been chosen an All Star. Nice guy, team player and I love the knuckler! Congrats!
