Curt Schilling said he will ‘forever regret’ how he handled Tim Wakefield’s cancer diagnosis

Curt Schilling confirmed that he will not be attending the Red Sox’ celebration of the 2004 World Series team, sharing remorse over how he handled the news of Tim Wakefield’s cancer diagnosis in September.

After it was reported that Schilling wasn’t planning to attend the celebration at the Red Sox’ home opener on April 9, he replied that he’ll “forever regret” how he handled the Wakefield situation to a fan on his Facebook page who said he should attend the festivities at Fenway Park.

“No I don’t. Not this time,” Schilling wrote. “It’s about the 04 team and Wake, and we all know the media, [The Boston Globe‘s Dan Shaughnessy] in particular, will be writing things that have nothing to do with either of those things, even more were I to attend.
