Tim Wakefield and Satchel Paige?



Tim Wakefield and Satchel Paige indeed have something in common. The aging Boston Red Sox knuckleballer joined the former Negro League star as the two oldest first time All-Star selections in baseball history. The forty-two year old Wakefield was selected to his first game today. Paige was a first time All-Star at the age of forty-six in 1952. Wakefield, 10-3, heads a brigade of six All-Stars for the A.L. East leading Red Sox.
