2023 MLB Thread; Say Hey, everybody: Rest In Power, Willie

[g-time]

crazy seeing Wakefield died from a seizure. i deal with epilepsy, thanks for ruining my morning

nah all jokes aside i feel for those kids losing both parents within 6 months. seizures are no joke man, u have zero control over em.

If you don’t mind me asking, do you take a medication to help with that? I only ask because my Dad worked for 20 yrs with a company that made almost like pacemaker/implant device that attached to the Vegas nerve that would shutdown a seizure event from occurring.

Wakefield had terminal brain cancer. It wasn't epilepsy related.

I remember the news of his passing but don’t recall hearing of seizures. Sad to hear about that family, the kids and their losses.

Just recently started getting the occasional seizure starting 2021 but it’s been some time, close to a year thankfully, since last episode.

Search said he had brain cancer as well

Free money if you want it.

Spoiler: Free money

Red Sox will get their 58th win Friday against the mariners on Tim Wakefield’s 58th bday.

Here why.

Tim Wakefield would be 57 today.

32 years ago to the day, he made his debut.

Red Sox won 3-2 against the mariners to get their 57th win. (Coincidentally, mariners stayed on 57 wins)

Friday, the Red Sox can get there 58th win on Tim Wakefields 58th bday.

If you follow numbers, this might be an easy cash out.
