Roger Clemens, who was teammates with Wakefield for five seasons on the Red Sox before opposing him as an American League East rival with the Blue Jays and Yankees, shared a similar sentiment.. “A great person, great teammate, and great golfing companion for many of our playing years. I told him many times playing along side [sic] of him what a great competitor he is. Hugs to his family and extended family. Miss you pal.
“He was a great competitor, when he took that mound” an emotional Youkilis said as his voice wavered. “He was just a great teammate and just a great friend. I had the luxury to play with him on the field, [be with him] in the booth, just glad I had the opportunity over the years to be alongside him. Well…this is heartbreaking news. A great person, great teammate, and great golfing companion for many of our playing years. I told him many times playing along side of him what a great competitor he is. Hugs to his family and extended family. Miss you pal. 😞. “Then we became co-workers and friends. When I ran the Boston Marathon in April for Dana Farber, Tim donated $1,000. The largest donation I received. Just one of countless examples of his kindness. I’m going to miss him.”.
