On October 1, 2023, the Boston Red Sox, through their official account on X (formerly known as Twitter), shared the heartbreaking news of the passing of one of their former players, Tim Wakefield. The 57-year-old pitcher had lost his battle with brain cancer.
Sadly, less than five months later, the Wakefield family was struck with another devastating loss. Tim’s widow, Stacy Wakefield, also passed away. Once again, the Red Sox took to X to announce the tragic news, this time through a statement written by Stacy’s family.
According to the statement, Stacy passed away at her home in Massachusetts, surrounded by her loved ones and caretakers. Her family described her death as “unimaginable,” especially since they were still mourning the loss of Tim. “Our hearts are shattered,” they wrote.
Sending love to the Wakefield family. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/eFxDsPjoT9
