BGleas Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Don't post in the baseball forum often, but wanted to share this as a Red Sox fan that was living in Boston during the 2004 season. Was a special run that was and Wakefield was a big part of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 I've always had an affinity for knuckleballers. Knuckleballers are more unique than .300 hitters, 40 home run guys, or 20 game winners. RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP In my late teens/early 20s, I could throw one that wouldn't roll about 1 out of every 3...Never had the gall to throw it in a game though... It's a beauty of a pitch if you can throw it, but even the masters would tell you, you throw one that rolls and it's a batting practice fastball... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Other than the fact 2004 was brought up, which as a Yankee fan I try to forget, Wakefield had the absolute best knuckleball I've ever seen thrown by a pitcher! He made a lot of hitters look foolish. Tip of the hat to Tim and RIP..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
