Personal Life
In 1979, Raines married Virginia Hilton, a classmate at Seminole High School. The couple gave birth to two children: Tim, Jr. ("Little Rock"), and André ("Little Hawk"). In high school he was a running back and has said he enjoyed football more than baseball at the time. On the matter between the two he reflects, "...in football I was a running back, so in the NFL my career would have probably lasted six or seven years and in baseball I ended up playing 23 years. In baseball you can play a long time so I think it’s better when you think of it in that way."
In 1985, Raines became a resident of Heathrow, Florida. In 2007, he moved to Estrella Mountain Ranch, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona, and married Shannon Watson from Arnprior, Ontario. Raines had twin babies in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly you find—at the age of fifty, say—that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about.... It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
“So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
