As Brianna prepared to throw out the first pitch at Fenway Park in 2024, it was Varitek who made his way to the plate. 'I don't think Brianna would have given anybody else a choice,' Varitek said postgame. 'It was really emotional. She held herself like a champ.'
After Varitek embraced Brianna, both she and her brother hoisted the 2004 World Series trophy as cheers rained down from Fenway, recognizing the impact of Tim and Stacy Wakefield on the field and in the community.
"I just thought it was fitting for her to walk off the field with the World Series trophy," Johnny Damon said. 'Those kids are going through a lot. They know they have a lot of family in the 2004 team that they can always count on.'
