WaK(2 x 10^3)e.

When people get up in the morning they should say to themselves: Today I will try my best to be like Tim Wakefield. As an example of decent humanity and an all-around good egg, Tim is right up there at the top.

The Boston Red Sox existed before Tim Wakefield and (short of alien invasion or the success of my bionic arm project) will continue to exist after he goes his merry way but it's hard to imagine this club without Timmy. It seems like he's been here forever and as a testament to his longevity, today he struck out this two thousandth batter while pitching for Boston.

Congrats to him.
