Tim Wakefield, Welland Pirates

Newspaper clipping about the Welland Pirates game against the Pittsfield Mets. It discusses the play of Tim Wakefield, who switched mid-game from third baseman to relief pitcher and excelled, despite the Welland Pirates ultimately losing the game 13-11. Wakefield later became one of the best players in the MLB as a knuckleball pitcher, playing 17 seasons with the Boston Red Sox and winning two World Series with them. From the July 1, 1989 edition of the Guardian Express.
