For this Living Set card, I reached back to one that has been out for awhile. This Tim Wakefield card came out in 2022. I decided to get it one day when I was thinking about his unfortunate passing. Wakefield was truly one of my favorite pitchers I have ever seen. By all accounts he was an incredible human being. Wakefield was also the winning pitcher in the first Red Sox win I ever saw (my second Red Sox game). That day he pitched 8.2 innings, giving up just two hits and one run while walking one and striking out five. Wakefield was a big part of my fandom and his death hit me particularly hard. I know he will never be enshrined in Cooperstown, but he is in my own personal Hall of Fame.
