MLB Legend Curt Schilling Shreds Dodgers for Anti-Christian Stunt: ‘Billionaires Can’t Do Math’
For certain sects of Major League Baseball fandom, there are few figures quite as mythic or legendary as Curt Schilling.
The longtime MLB ace, who has played for a number of teams over his illustrious career, is perhaps best known for the 2004 “bloody sock” game, wherein Schilling pitched a dominant game despite recovering from ankle surgery. In subsequent replays of the game, you can clearly see a red blotch on Schilling’s sock grow larger as the game went on.
Oh, and there was also the not-so-insignificant fact that Schilling’s bloody sock game came during a historic playoff comeback, as Schilling and the Boston Red Sox completed the first-ever comeback from a 3-0 series deficit in MLB history (a feat that still hasn’t been accomplished in the NBA.) And it also happened to be at the expense of the hated Red Sox rivals, the New York Yankees.
Point being: Curt Schilling knows and loves baseball, a sport in which he has reached the highest possible levels. His thoughts on the sport are not the bitter ramblings of a has-been or never-was — they’re insight from a man embedded in the annals of baseball lore.
So it’s with that preface that baseball should listen long and hard to what Schilling has to say about the current state of the MLB product.
