Ex Red Sox Teammate Criticizes Curt Schilling Tim Wakefield Controversy FOX Sports Radio

Former Red Sox pitcher Derek Lowe criticized Curt Schilling for not attending Tim Wakefield's ceremony, calling it "bulls**t" and disrespectful.

During a recent luncheon honoring the team to benefit the Foundation to Be Named Later, Lowe expressed his frustration with Schilling's absence at the ceremony on Fenway Park's Opening Day. Lowe, who had a close relationship with Wakefield, called Schilling's decision "bulls**t" and criticized him for not being there for the family.

The passing of Wakefield at the age of 57 in October 2023, just days after Schilling disclosed his cancer diagnosis, was a devastating blow. Despite Schilling's acknowledgment that Wakefield had not asked for his diagnosis to be shared, the news still came as a shock. Tragically, Wakefield's widow, Stacy, also lost her battle with cancer just months after her husband's passing.

Wakefield, known for his knuckleball pitching, had an impressive career in the majors, spending 17 seasons with the Red Sox and winning two World Series titles. His legacy includes a 200-180 record, a 4.41 ERA, and 2,156 strikeouts. His contributions to the sport will always be remembered.

In other news, Jason Whitlock and Rob Parker have been vocal about their opinions on various sports topics, including the treatment of rising star Caitlin Clark and the reasons behind Stefon Diggs' departure from Buffalo. Their insights provide valuable perspectives on the sports world and the challenges faced by athletes at all levels.

As we reflect on the legacy of Tim Wakefield and the impact he had on the Red Sox organization, it is important to remember the importance of supporting and honoring our fellow athletes, both in life and in death. The sports community must come together to celebrate the achievements of those who have paved the way for future generations, while also acknowledging the challenges and obstacles they faced along the way. Let us continue to honor the memory of Tim Wakefield and all those who have left a lasting impact on the world of sports.
