[1/2] Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tim Wakefield throws a pitch to the New York Yankees in the first inning of their MLB American League baseball game at Yankee Stadium in New York September 25, 2011. REUTERS/Ray Stubblebine/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 1 (Reuters) - Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield, whose unpredictable knuckleball flummoxed opponents during a career in which he won two World Series championships, died on Sunday after a battle with brain cancer. "Tim's kindness and indomitable spirit were as legendary as his knuckleball," said Red Sox principal owner John Henry. After a standout season for Boston's Triple-A minor league team, Wakefield was a hit with the Red Sox in 1995, going 16-8 with a 2.95 ERA in what might have been his best season. "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Tim Wakefield, one of the most unique pitchers of his generation and a key part of the most successful era in the history of the Boston Red Sox," said MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred.

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.

With Melvin watching from the first base dugout in Oakland for the first time since May 2009, the Padres (78-70) delivered an 8-3 win in the opener of the three-game series on Friday. Melvin was back at the site of six A's trips to the postseason in his 11 seasons. "I loved it," said Melvin, who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area town of Atherton and attended the University of California. Padres starter Matt Waldron (0-3, 5.55 ERA) hopes to get the type of support on Saturday that Seth Lugo received in the Friday opener. The 25-year-old has allowed just one home run in 25 1/3 innings, none when he served as an opener in a 4-0 win at Houston on Monday.

Half a century after he played, many of today’s Latino baseball players credit him for paving the way. “The name Roberto Clemente is something that fills us with passion and admiration,” said Miami Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara, who was born in the Dominican Republic. The Roberto Clemente Award is given each year to a player for charitable work in the community.
