During last night’s meeting, the Melbourne City Council approved a resolution to change the name of Crane Field Park to Tim Wakefield Sports Complex to honor Tim Wakefield and to provide a long-lasting and permanent testament to his commitment to the City of Melbourne.
It is with sadness we report the passing of Florida Tech alumnus Tim Wakefield, a gifted athlete and compassionate soul whose magic with baseball was surpassed only by his generosity, kindness and selfless service to his native Space Coast and adopted New England home.
