"Wake exemplifies what this uniform is."

Jason Varitek on who Tim Wakefield was as a teammate and a person.

[Red Sox @RedSox]

Our hearts are broken with the loss of Tim Wakefield.

Wake embodied true goodness; a devoted husband, father, and teammate, beloved broadcaster, and the ultimate community leader. He gave so much to the game and all of Red Sox Nation.

Our deepest love and thoughts are with Stacy, Trevor, Brianna, and the Wakefield family.

Tests yesterday confirmed that Chris will not wake up. In life, Chris offered his body to a clinical trial to help others. In death he will do the same. He remains on life support while organ donation is arranged. We are so proud of him.

These poor fans thought they were about to see a matchup of 648 combined wins and instead got to see just three combined wins

Give me a “I forgot he played for that team” guy. I’ll start us off with Tampa Bay Rays legend Doc Gooden.

Today is Ted William’s birthday. He is explaining to me here about the Theory of Hitting. He was way ahead of his time. ⁦@RedSox⁩ Wish he had been around more often.

Lonnie Johnson, a renowned scientist at NASA, gained fame for his remarkable creation known as the Super Soaker. Growing up in Alabama, Lonnie had an inherent love for experimentation and enjoyed disassembling toys, attempting to rebuild them. However, one of his experiments involving rocket fuel in a frying pan nearly resulted in his house catching fire.

During his tenure at NASA from 1979 to 1991, Lonnie Johnson made significant contributions by developing the nuclear power source used in the Galileo mission to Jupiter. It was while collaborating with the Air Force that he conceived the concept for the Super Soaker. In 1989, he officially patented his invention, originally naming it the "Power Drencher."

Lonnie Johnson's remarkable achievements extend far beyond the Super Soaker. He holds an impressive collection of more than 250 patents, earning him a well-deserved place in the esteemed National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2022. Currently residing in Atlanta with his wife Linda Moore, Lonnie is a proud parent to four children. The enduring popularity of the Super Soaker continues, making it one of the best-selling toys in America.
