A First for Sox Old-Timers

When Tim Wakefield (41 years, 278 days) and Mike Timlin (42 years, 57 days) combined on a shutout Tuesday night against the Tigers, it marked the first time since 1900, when such records were kept, that a team has tossed a shutout using multiple pitchers over the age of 40.

That nugget came from research done by the Elias Sports Bureau after the Sox' 5-0 triumph over the Tigers.

"That's cool," said Wakefield.
