CNN —Longtime Boston Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield died Sunday morning at age 57, the team announced in a news release.
“Our hearts are broken with the loss of Tim Wakefield,” the Red Sox posted on X on Sunday.
His 186 victories in his Red Sox career are just six behind team record-setters Young and Roger Clemens.
At his retirement announcement in February 2012, Wakefield said all he ever wanted to do was to help the Red Sox be champions.
“Tim’s kindness and indomitable spirit were as legendary as his knuckleball,” said Red Sox owner John Henry.
