Summary

Red Sox Hall of Famer and fan favorite Tim Wakefield joins us today to talk his very first memory of playing in Boston, the wildness of pitching to Jason Varitek in the 2004 ALCS, not loving the stigma that comes along with being a knuckleball pitcher, a behind-the-scenes look at Doug Mirabelli's police escort to Fenway, the best hitters he's made look silly, a hilarious Jose Canseco story, giving up a homer to Barry Bonds and the gesture he gave him right afterwards, a special moment he had after winning the ALCS in New York, his current relationship with Aaroon Boone following Game 7 in 2003, the atmosphere starting Game 1 of the World Series, his top memories from the parade, why Josh Beckett deserves more credit for his time in Boston, his favorite Terry Francona stories, when he knew it was time to hang 'em up, a funny story involving Steve from 2007, and whether or not he expects to get his number retired by the Red Sox. After the Wake interview we talk the disappointment of this Yankees series so far, what we expect the Sox to do to the Yankees road clubhouse if they clinch tonight, how bizarre that story of those two Somerville goofs picking up the AL East champs banner was, and close with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions. Enjoy!
