Former Red Sox pitcher Derek Lowe was brutally honest about his feelings regarding former teammate Curt Schilling, who turned down an invitation to attend Tuesday’s celebration of their 2004 Red Sox World Series team and the late Hall of Famer Tim Wakefield at Fenway Park.
Lowe explained that Schilling did “the right thing” by excusing himself from the ceremonies — which will take place before Boston’s home opener against the Orioles at Fenway Park — after his “bulls–t” comments, when he made Wakefield’s cancer diagnosis public against his wishes last September.
“[It was] bulls–t, what he did,” Lowe angrily said Monday at a luncheon honoring the 2004 World Series championship team to benefit the Foundation to Be Named Later, according to Mass Live. “I knew a lot. Golfed with [Wakefield], knew the whole story. And understanding what they wanted out as a family, and you do that? It’s just bulls–t. Again, [Schilling not attending], is the right thing.”
