During a recent episode of his podcast, Curt Schilling announced that former Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield has an aggressive form of brain cancer.
“This is not a message that Tim has asked anyone to share,” Schilling said. “And I don’t even know if he wants it shared, but as a Christian and as a man of faith I have seen prayer work so I’m going to talk about it.”
“Tim’s wife Stacy who is one of the sweetest women you’ll ever meet is very sick, with pancreatic cancer,” Schilling continued. “My wife has talked with her and they’re communicating, and they’re going through an incredibly difficult time with Stacy. I want them to know that we’re all obviously thinking about them and playing for her, but recently Tim was diagnosed with a very serious, very aggressive form of brain cancer.”
The Red Sox released a statement Thursday afternoon saying that they are aware of Schilling’s comments.
