Ozzy Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Boston's knuckleballer gone way too young! https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/tim-wakefield-dies-at-57-red-sox-mourn-loss-of-former-pitcher-who-embodied-true-goodness/ Put this where it goes, @Phil.

Like it was said, he was so young. I’m not so sure who has seen or read about this, but apparently both Wakefield and his wife were both dealing with aggressive forms of cancer, and they wanted to keep their battles private. And Curt Schilling, as you would expect, has to turn around and be a dickhead and go on his podcast and express to the world that Wakefield and his wife both have cancer, and that he is telling the news to everyone even though he knows it goes against their wishes, because he believes in the power of prayer. It was only days later that Wakefield passed away. But let me tell you something. I know not everyone on here is an avid baseball fan. And I know everyone is entitled to their opinions. And I have truthfully avoided just about all of Schillings antics since he retired, and even when he played. But the truth of the matter is that he is the biggest scumbag going right now in the world of pro sports. Apparently, the family was upset and several people related with the Red Sox were upset that Schilling would take it upon himself to go forward with this extremely personal news against the better wishes of the family. Absolutely disgusting behavior. And I wish I could say I was shocked, but I’m really not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Awful about Tim. One of the few Red Sox players from that era I liked and respected. But yeah, shit like this is keeping Curt out of the Hall of Fame. He should be there anyway, though. But, he doesn't do himself any favors.
