Hobbies are golf, surfing, flying and playing the guitar: Wakefield
has hosted many charity golf tournaments.
Favorite sports announcers are Dick Vitale and Billy Packer:
Two famous college basketball announcers.
Favorite player as a kid was Dale Murphy: Wakefield grew up
a Braves fan in Florida.
Most prized possession is his 1955 Guild acoustic/electric
guitar: Today this guitar would sell for well over $1,000.
Might have been a pilot if he hadn’t been an athlete:
Wakefield’s grandfather was a flight engineer in World War II and later
encouraged his grandson’s love of flying.
Pet peeve is high taxes: Wakefield made a lot of money
playing baseball so he will do very well with the President’s new tax plan.
Hopefully some of that saving trickles down to the rest of us.
Where he is now: A Red Sox studio analyst.
