Former MLB Pitcher Tim Wakefield and Wife Stacy Wakefield’s Relationship Timeline

Scott Eisen/Getty Images Former MLB pitcher Tim Wakefield and his wife, Stacy Wakefield , were married for more than 20 years before their deaths. The couple reportedly met in 2000 after Tim signed with the Boston Red Sox in 1995, beginning his 17-year career with the team. Tim and Stacy went on to marry in 2002 and welcomed two children: son Trevor and daughter Brianna. Stacy, Trevor and Brianna supported Tim through many of his career milestones, including his 2012 retirement from the MLB. “Thank you for your sacrifices through the years to allow me to pursue my dreams, pushing me through the hard times and never allowing me to quit,” he told his family during his retirement speech. Tim continued: “I’m really looking forward to spending more time with you guys. Boston is our home and always will be. Stacy grew up here, both my kids were born there, and essentially, I grew up there, too.”

T echnologies don’t usually tip elections, but they certainly condition them.  How  a candidate formats a message inevitably shapes the content of that message and, in turn, the quality of American political discourse.

Biden might win on TikTok, but he risks losing the larger battle against the growing attention to his age. To be sure, it’s no
