Tim Wakefield: A Life in Baseball

By Thomas C. Dixon

Tim Wakefield was one of the most unique and successful pitchers in baseball history. He mastered the knuckleball, a notoriously difficult pitch to learn and control, and used it to win 200 games, pitch over 3,000 innings, and help the Boston Red Sox win two World Series titles.

But Wakefield's story is more than just about baseball. It is a story of perseverance, determination, and overcoming adversity. Wakefield was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1988, but he struggled in his first two seasons in the major leagues. He was released by the Pirates in 1995, but he was given a second chance by the Red Sox.

Wakefield spent the next 17 seasons with the Red Sox, and he became one of the most beloved players in franchise history. He was a key member of the Red Sox's 2004 and 2007 World Series championship teams, and he was named the Roberto Clemente Award winner in 2010.

Off the field, Wakefield is a successful businessman, a philanthropist, and a devoted father and husband. He is also a role model for young athletes and a positive ambassador for the game of baseball.

This book tells the story of Tim Wakefield's life, both on and off the field. It is a story of perseverance, determination, and overcoming adversity. It is also a story of success, friendship, and family.
