Welcome to the 2009 National Spelling Bee! Kavya Shivashankar, can you spell, professional, unselfish, and class-act?? If you don't get this right, you will be locked back in your ABC shaped cage in the murky basement with the latest edition of Webster's for the next 6 months. Now, here it is in a sentence...If there was ever an example of a professional, unselfish, class-act baseball player or person, Tim Wakefield would be it.
Ok, that intro was a little bit overdone, but I couldn't be happier for Tim Wakefield right now. The man is 42 years old, will probably be the Red Sox all time wins leader when it's all said and done, and now he gets his first All-Star nod. This was a slightly controversial pick because despite his league leading 10 wins, his numbers are not typical "all-star quality" (This also just adds to Joe Maddon's resume as another class-act). Congrats to Wake and I think they should be able to fly George Kottaras out to the game too, because George has filled in seamlessly in his rookie season catching for Wake.
