Joanna’s Reviews > Faithful: Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season > Status Update

stephen king's late-august love letter to tim wakefield made me emotional. no one was more no-nonsense. he was the quintessential red sox player, a workhorse with no ego and love for the city he played in. he's my all-time favorite for a reason.

i miss tim wakefield.

"arguing with a yankees fan is like arguing with a real estate agent who voted for ronald reagan."

"i woke up to real life, smelling not the coffee but the peanuts and cracker jacks: ah yes, screwed again. hello, world, i'm a red sox fan."

this book IS springtime to me, and with the 20th anniversary of the greatest sports moment i've ever seen thiz year, it felt like a good time to revisit this. baseball. ❤️
