Former MLB pitcher Curt Schilling is facing harsh criticism for revealing a serious health issue that a former teammate is battling.
Schilling, who hosts The Curt Schilling Baseball Show, told his audience Wednesday that former teammate Tim Wakefield was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. Schilling also revealed that Wakefield’s wife is currently in the middle of a battle with pancreatic cancer.
“Tim Wakefield … the knuckleballer, is sick,” Schilling began. “And I talked to Doug Mirabelli yesterday, and it’s not a message that Tim has asked anyone to share and I’m not even sure if he wants it shared. But as a Christian and a man of faith, I have seen prayer work, and so I’m going to talk about it. …Tomorrow is never, ever a given. Tim’s wife, Stacy, who is one of the sweetest women you’ll ever meet, is very sick with pancreatic cancer. … We’re all thinking about them and praying for her. But recently, Tim was diagnosed with a very serious, very aggressive form of brain cancer.”
