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.
