Curt Schilling will not be in attendance at Fenway Park on Tuesday when the Red Sox honor both their 2004 World Series championship team and the life of Tim Wakefield as part of the team’s home-opener ceremony.
Speaking with MassLive’s Sean McAdam on Monday, former Red Sox pitcher and 2004 World Series champion Derek Lowe believes Schilling’s absence is a necessary and welcomed outcome.
Schilling, who turned down the invitation to appear with his 2004 teammates during Tuesday’s home opener, drew the ire of many of those ex-teammates and Red Sox fans when he chose to reveal that both Tim and Stacy Wakefield were battling cancer during a podcast in September 2023.
