I was a fan of his.

So young. Any news on what the cause was?

 

[Slim Tubby]

Brain cancer I believe. RIP...too damn young.

Oh man this just sucks. Great respect for the young man. Much too early. Rest in Peace Mr Wakefield

Very sad, and it sounds like his wife is battling pancreatic cancer. No family should have to go through that at the same time. Godspeed to the Wakefield's.

I had no idea his wife is battling cancer too. Life can be so cruel at times

The premier knuckleballer of my era growing up. By all accounts a very down to earth man as well.

RIP Tim and condolences to the Wakefield family for the hell they have been through.

Remember when you would see him in a box score thinking he had retired years ago.
