MOST BELOVED STARTER
Tim Wakefield
One of the most popular players in Boston, the knuckleballer won 16 games when he debuted with the Sox in 1995, earning him Comeback Player of the Year honors. Wake spent three years in the Sox bullpen, taking the ball whenever he was asked, before returning to the rotation in 2003, and won two games in the ALCS vs. the Yankees before giving up the Game 7 homer to Aaron Boone.
