Looking like he could pitch tomorrow if needed, former Red Sox reliever Mike Timlin [stats] made the clubhouse rounds before throwing out the first pitch against the Orioles. He’s in town with his wife, Dawn, who’s running her sixth Boston Marathon today.
The 43-year-old Timlin has pretty much accepted his career is over. He put out feelers over the winter and didn’t receive any interest, even for a minor league deal, so now he’s spending time with his family, watching son Jake play Little League.
“I had a nice run,” Timlin said.
Timlin recorded the final out of the 1992 World Series with the Blue Jays, won two World Series with the Red Sox, and leaves the game seventh on the all-time appearances list with 1,058.
