"Tim Wakefield's Daughter Brianna Throws First Pitch at Red Sox Home Opener"

Brianna Wakefield, daughter of former Red Sox player Tim Wakefield, threw out the first pitch at Fenway Park on Opening Day, supported by her father's 2004 teammates. The ceremony also honored Wakefield, who passed away in October, and other former members of the Red Sox organization. Wakefield, known for his contributions on and off the field, played a vital role in the Red Sox's 2004 championship win and was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2016. The team used the day to debut uniform patches and fans received commemorative Wakefield pins, with a portion of ticket proceeds from an upcoming game going to the Red Sox Foundation.
