Tim Wakefield





Drafted as a first baseman by the Pirates in 1988. 

A scout told him that he would never get above Double-A ball as a position player.

So he started working on the knuckle ball.

 "I just want to be able to say I tried everything I could to make it"

19 seasons and 52 million dollars later...
 Tim Wakefield retires with the most wins in Redsox history.
