A tragic passing that has severely impacted Jeremy Swayman
Jeremy Swayman and Tim Wakefield were born in different generations, but Wakefield's influence on Swayman has been monumental.
Wakefield may not be able to help the netminder between the pipes, but the former Red Sox player has left a huge effect on the Bruin.
After Wakefield passed in October 2023, Swayman made himself available to the media to discuss Wakefield's impact on himself and the community. Swayman would elaborate when he was interviewed during WEEI/NESN's Jimmy Fund:
Swayman of course, regrets the fact that he wasn't here to learn more from Wakefield. But the Bruins goalie feels confident that he can carry the pitcher's legacy with lessons he learned from him.
Swayman has lived up to his end of the bargain, as he has continued to volunteer during the telethon. He is one of few Boston Athlete's who has dedicated a huge amount of time towards the fund in a short amount of time.
