During the run of the Phillies banner in 1993, Schilling went 16-7 with 4.02 ERA and 186 strikeouts. Schilling angered the Phillies against the twice-defending National League Atlanta Braves champions in the National League Championship Series. Although he did not accept the decision during his two appearances in the six-game series, Schilling 1.69 ERA and 19 strikeouts (including 5 Braves hitters from Game 1, an NLCS record) enough to give him the NLCS 1993 Most Valuable Player Award. Phillies went on to face the world champions who defended Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. After losing Game 1, he performed brilliantly at the beginning of the next. With the Phillies facing elimination a day after losing an odd 15-14 at home at the Veterans Stadium, Schilling scored the winner Phillies won 2-0.

Schilling was named for the All-Star NL team in 1997, 1998, and 1999 and started the match in 1999. In 1997, he completed 14th in the NL MVP and fourth vote in the NL Cy Young vote. Unhappy with team performance, he asked for trades for a competitor in 2000 and then handled Arizona Diamondbacks. 101 career victories were ranked sixth of all time for Phillies pitchers, 20 at ERA (3.35), 23 in games appearing at (242), sixth in game starts (226), 34 in full game (61), 13 in shutouts ( 14)), the fourth in strikeout (1554), and eighth in a pitched inning (1659.1).

Career Diamondbacks (2000-03)

Schilling traded to Diamondbacks on July 26, 2000, for first baseman Travis Lee and pitchers Vicente Padilla, Omar Daal, and Nelson Figueroa. With Arizona, he went 22-6 with 2.98 ERA in 2001, leading the majors in victory and a pitched round. He also went 4-0 with 1.12 ERA in the playoffs. In the 2001 World Series, Diamondbacks beat the New York Yankees in seven games. Schilling is 1-0 in the World Series with 1.69 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 21 innings, although it also allows a better home run in 8 Game Seven. He shared the 2001 MVP World Award Series with team-mate Randy Johnson (who unleashed Schilling in Game Seven and got the victory after the dramatic 9th comeback of Diamondbacks' inning). Schilling and Johnson also shared "Sports Athletes of the Year" award in 2001 by Sports Illustrated . During the World Series Schilling received two more awards, when he presented Roberto Clemente and the Branch Rickey Awards that year, the award-winning Arizona Diamondback.

In 2002, it went 23-7 with 3.23 ERA. He attacked 316 batters while walking 33 in 259.1 innings. On April 7, 2002, Schilling performed a one-hit shutdown that hit 17 against the Milwaukee Brewers. Second year he finished second in the Cy Young Award for Johnson. Schilling completed the 2003 season with a record of 8-9 and 2.95 ERA in 168 innings while attacking 194 batters. In November 2003, Diamondbacks traded Schilling to the Boston Red Sox in return for Jorge de la Rosa, Casey Fossum, Mike Goss, and Brandon Lyon.

Trading into Boston brings Schilling together with Terry Francona, his manager for the last four years with Phillies Philadelphia. On September 16, 2004, Schilling won the 20th game of 2004 for the Red Sox, becoming the fifth Boston pitcher to win 20 games or more in his first season with the team, and the first since Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley in 1978. Schilling ended the season regular with a record of 21-6.

On October 19, 2004, Schilling won Game 6 of the 2004 UEFA Champions League Series against the New York Yankees. In particular, he won this game playing in the injured ankle - the same injuries that contributed to the disastrous outing in Game 1 of ALCS. The injury is so acute that at the end of his performance in Game 6, his white socks are soaked in blood, now referred to as "bloody socks". This victory forced Game 7, the Red Sox will continue to win 7 games and ALCS and make their first World Series appearance since 1986. Schilling launched (and won) Game 2 of the 2004 World Series for the Red Sox against Stats. Louis Cardinals. In both series, he must have the tendon in his right ankle stabilized over and over, in what is known as the Schilling Tendon Procedure, after a torn tendon sheath during ALDS Game 1's appearance against the Anaheim Angel. As in Game 6 of the ALCS, Schilling's socks were soaked with blood from the stitches used in this medical procedure, but he still managed to enter seven powerful rounds, giving up once on four strokes and attacking four strokes. This second blooded sock was placed in the Baseball Hall of Fame after Boston's victory over St. John's. Louis in World Series. The four-game sweep of the World Series removes the Bambino Curse. On February 23, 2013, the first bloody socks were sold at a direct auction at Fletcher-Sinclair Mansion for $ 92,613 to an unidentified bidder.

Schilling was once again runner-up in Cy Young's 2004 vote, this time to the Minnesota Twins, Johan Santana, which was a round choice, receiving all 28 first votes. Schilling received 27 of 28 second place votes. Then, the entire Red Sox team named Sports Illustrated 2004 Sportsmen of the Year, making Schilling only the second person to win or share the award twice.

Schilling started in 2005 on the disabled list due to repetitive ankle injuries. He came back in July as Boston was closer. He eventually returned to his early rotation and continued to struggle. The Red Sox made it to the playoffs, but was swept by the Chicago White Sox in three games.

For the 2006 season, Schilling is said to be healthy. He started the season 4-0 with 1.61 ERA. He finished the year with a record of 15-7 and 198 strikeouts, with a respectable 3.97 ERA. On May 27, he grabbed his 200th win of his career, the 104th league pitcher to achieve that feat. On August 30, Schilling collected 3,000 outouts. Schilling has the highest strikeout ratio to run from any pitcher with at least 3,000 strikeouts, and is one of four pitchers to reach the 3,000-K milestone before reaching 1,000 minute careers. The other three who achieved this achievement were Fergie Jenkins, Greg Maddux, and former Boston Red Sox star and teammate Pedro MartÃÆ'nez.

In January 2007, Schilling announced to Dennis and Callahan that after talking to his family, he had changed his mind and did not want to retire at the end of the 2007 season. He attempted to negotiate his current contract extension, but the Red Sox executives announced that they would not negotiate with him until after the season mentions the age and physical condition of Schilling as a factor in their decision. Schilling went on to say he will be a free agent at the end of the season, for the first time in his career, and will not negotiate with the Red Sox for 15 days after the end of the World Series when the team has exclusively negotiated rights with potential free agents. In a June appearance at the Dennis and Callahan Show, Schilling stated he would receive a one-year extension for his contract with his current salary if the Red Sox offered it to him. Asked about his statement, Schilling said, "I said I will not negotiate a deal during this season, and I say it now, but I will accept the offer."

On 7 June 2007, Schilling came in one of his first career without a bat. Schilling handed two singles to Oakland's Shannon Stewart, who lined the 95-mph fastball to the right of the field for a hit only A. Schilling followed up his one hitter with two bad starts and was sent back to Boston on June 20 for MRI on his shoulders and placed on the disabled list. He returned from the disabled list on Aug. 6, throwing at least six innings in each of the nine starts after the All-Star break.

Schilling continued his postseason career success in 2007, throwing seven shutout rounds in a 9-1 win over Angels in ALDS, ending a three-game sweep for Boston. However, he did not do any good pitching in Game 2 of ALCS against Cleveland, handing him nine hits - two of them home runs - and five running earnings in just 4 ² / ₃ round. He started again in the sixth game of the series, throwing seven complete innings in which he recorded five strikeouts, giving up not running with only two gains to gain victory and forcing Game 7. He earned his third win of the 2007 playoff in Game 2 of the World Series 2007 which will come out after 5 host ¹ / ₃ , crossed out four while allowing only four strokes. With this victory, he became the second pitcher over the age of 40 to start and win the World Series games (Kenny Rogers became the first one just a year earlier). When Schilling departs at the 6th inning, fans at Fenway Park give Schilling a standing ovation.

Schilling proposed a free agent on October 30, 2007. He said he would seek a one-year deal, and according to ESPN First Take and his own blog page 38 Pitches. Schilling then signed a one-year deal with the Boston Red Sox for the 2008 season. Schilling missed all the 2008 season with a shoulder injury. The injury was first revealed in February 2008 and treatment options became a point of contention between Schilling and Red Sox management. On March 13, 2008, the Red Sox placed Schilling on a 60-day defect list as he continued to rehabilitate his right shoulder. On June 18, 2008, Curt Schilling left the team to reevaluate after suffering pain when throwing a mound. On June 20, 2008, Schilling stated at WEEI, Dennis and Callahan indicated that he would undergo a season-ending operation and the possibility he had thrown the last throw in his career. On June 23, 2008, Schilling underwent biceps surgery, in which small tears under the rotator cuff were discovered and stitched, and the separation of the labrum was repaired. According to his surgeon, he can start throwing in four months.

Retirement

On March 23, 2009, Schilling officially announced his retirement from professional baseball after 20 seasons. Schilling ended his career with a record 216-146, 3.46 ERA and 3116 strikeout, the 15th most in MLB history. After his last pitched in 2007, Schilling became eligible for the 2013 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, but he did not receive enough votes for the election. He then appeared on the 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 ballots, but has not received enough votes to choose from in the Hall. On August 2, 2013, Schilling was inducted into the Philadelphia Phillies Wall of Fame.

Scout Report

During the peak of his career, Schilling was able to achieve and maintain a speed of 94-98 mph on his four-seater fastball. Throughout his career, he was characterized by a determination to enter into the ballgames, routinely throwing past the sixth and seventh rounds. He combines endurance with pinpoint control, especially on his fastball. Schilling's "out" pitch is a fastball split-finger, which is usually located below the strike zone (resulting in many strikeouts swinging). He also has an above average turnover, decent slider, and is mixed in occasional arches, although he mainly alternates between his fastball and splitter. Despite its declining speed in the following years (to the range 89-93 on its fastball), the controls remain good, and he is currently fifth in the career ratio for walking.

He also uses his experience to warn Madison Bumgarner, who is also a smokeless tobacco user ('dye').

Political engagement

Schilling campaigned for President George W. Bush in 2004, while certain members of the Red Sox ownership campaigned for his challenger, Sen. John F. Kerry (D). Schilling said he was encouraged to run for Kerry's seat in the US Senate in 2008 as a Republican. However, Schilling was quoted in The Boston Globe as saying that he intended to pitch in 2008, which would block the course of the Senate.

He has said that Jose Cansecos statistics should be discarded for the use of his steroids, and also said that unless he can refute allegations that he is using performance-enhancing drugs, Roger Clemens should be stripped of his four Cy Young Awards. won since 1997.

On January 29, 2007, Schilling announced in an interview that he would support Sen. John McCain, a Republican candidate in the 2008 presidential election. In the same interview, he criticized presidential candidate and Senator Hillary Clinton (D) for his comments criticizing the war in Iraq. Schilling also appeared on the campaign trail several times for McCain.

Schilling was mentioned as a candidate for US Senator in a special election in Massachusetts for the seat left vacant by Senator Ted Kennedy who has died. However, he ruled out running for 24 September 2009, his performance on Dennis and Callahan, a popular Boston sports radio talk show. In 2009, Schilling supported Scott Brown for the seat. During the campaign, Martha Coakley, a Democratic candidate, calls Schilling a Yankee fan. Coakley was ridiculed for the comment; critics say it shows he's not in touch with the Boston community. Schilling joked about the incident: "I've been called a lot of things... But never, and I mean never, anyone can make a mistake by calling me a Yankee fan.Now, check that, if you do not know what's going on your own country, maybe you can. "

Charity work

His organization, Curt's Pitch for ALS, allows fans and organizations to sponsor him, contributing to the ALS Association for every run he throws. She also donated for her $ 25,000 charity charity in the celebrity version of Jeopardy! Originally aired on November 9, 2006. In the 2004 playoff, after an operation on his ankle, Schilling wrote "K ALS" (short for "crossed ALS") on his shoe, knowing that the camera would focus on his legs several times when he is throwing. He also held a weekly radio show with WEEI-FM in Boston that earned over $ 100,000 annually for patients and the ALS study.

Conflict with player

Schilling is known for being outspoken, and this results in some conflict with fellow players. Schilling was publicly criticized by Phillies Mitch Williams team mates Larry Andersen and Danny Jackson for his behavior during the 1993 World Series. Each time Mitch Williams (closer to unpredictable predictions and uncertainty) was on the mound, the camera CBS television captures Schilling in a dugout that hides his face with a towel. Although Schilling said he was nervous in the heat of the World Series, his colleagues criticized him for being rude.

Schilling also directs comments on third-baseman Alex Rodriguez's Yankees, after calling RodrÃÆ'guez's punch from the tag in the sixth game of ALCS "playing bush-league" at The Jim Rome Show.

During a radio appearance on May 8, 2007, Schilling criticized Barry Bonds, stating: "He admitted to cheating on his wife, cheating on taxes and cheating on the game." Soon after, Schilling issued an apology on his blog, stating "it's totally irresponsible and wrong to say what I do," without, however, showing his opinion about the truth of the statement.

After the 2008 season, Schilling released a blog post that blew up former Red Sox team-mate Manny Ramirez before Ramirez left the team.

Conflicts with management

While with Phillies, Schilling was a vocal critic of team management, stopping only briefly calling the incompetent front office.

During the match as Diamondback in 2003, he ruined the QuesTec camera with a bat. According to Schilling, the referee behind the plate said, "I can not call that strike an attack, the machine does not allow me." This leads to fines and public exchanges of contempt with Major League Baseball executive Sandy Alderson who accused Schilling of whining and wants the ball to be called a strike. In response, Schilling said Alderson "did not know the facts and did not know what I was saying."

Conflict with media

Schilling had an old feud with ESPN and former Arizona Republic reporter Pedro Gomez, initially for an article he wrote about Buck Showalter manager. Gomez later published a critical column on Schilling, on the same day Schilling pitched in Game 7 of the World Series 2001. In his column, Gomez stated, "Over the last few days, the country... has discovered the little secret of Schilling, this one has been known for years but rarely appears to mainstream Schilling is something of a con artist, someone is more eager to polish his personal image in any way possible. "He was also quoted later as saying Schilling was" the perfect table for one. " A year later, he's increasingly heating up Schilling by stating that the friendship between Schilling and his teammate Randy Johnson is "just cosmetics."

In an interview in October 2004 and February 2006, Schilling said of Gomez:

There are many [bad guys] in the industry, Pedro Gomez, Joel Heyman, to name a few. People with little skill in their profession that they need to speculate, make, compose, write something that is interesting enough to print. What makes them a bad guy? I'm sure I can not understand the exact reason, but I know some. Jealousy, bitterness, need to be 'different', I'm sure there are others, but those are the things I know... You just have to realize that there are people who do not like you and, unfortunately, sometimes those people have voice, dislike me may match my displeasure for him (Gomez), but I have a problem with people who have no integrity and principles, so it happens. You just have to let it go.

In 2007, Schilling was involved in another war of words with a writer, this time with the sports scholar Dan Shaughnessy. Shaughnessy in his column and during television appearances have criticized Schilling for the conditions he showed in spring training, calling him "Big Blowhard" and scorning Schilling's blog and radio appearances. Schilling responded by using the Sons of Sam Horn forum and his own blog to point out errors in the Shaughnessy column.

On April 27, 2007, broadcaster Gary Thorne said that he heard Red Sox catcher Doug Mirabelli said that the blood on socks used by Schilling in Game 6 ALCS 2004 is actually paint. Mirabelli accused Thorne of lying and a day later, after speaking to Mirabelli, Thorne supported his statement saying he misinterpreted what was meant to be a joke, "After talking to him today, there is no doubt in my mind that's not what he said, it's not what he He explained that it was in the context of sarcasm and puncture that took place at the club. "

Schilling replied on his blog by saying the following:

So Gary Thorne says that Doug told him that the blood was fake. Even when he was called he could not admit that he was lying. Doug never told Gary Thorne anything. Gary Thorne heard something and then misreported what he heard. Not only did he miscast it, he misinterpreted what he wrongly reported.

Game

ASL has become a regular companion on the road trip, and every city of the National League now is the playground for baseball at night and ASL on that day. (All of this has been a source of profit for ASL players whose acquaintances, who are sometimes Curt's guests at stadiums across the country.)

Schilling's disappointment at not being able to attend the ASL Oktoberfest (annual game convention) made him create his own, ASL Open, which debuted on the weekend of January 15, 1993, in Houston, Texas. Open is financed from his own pocket. Schilling also started his own amateur publication titled Fire for Effect , a bi-monthly featuring "some of the best writers of ASL hobbies".

In May 2012, 38 Studios failed to pay its loans from the state of Rhode Island and failed to meet payroll obligations to its employees. 38 Studios and its subsidiary, Big Huge Games, then laid off their staff with bulk email. Some laid-off employees may have a second mortgage because the company does not actually sell the house to them as part of a relocation package. Some people accuse Schilling of being hypocritical based on the conflict between his views on "big government" and studio ties with the "big government". On November 1, 2012, Schilling was sued by the state in connection with the loan. Governor Lincoln Chafee said: "My message to Rhode Islanders is this: I know that you work hard for your salary, and for your tax money to be wasted is unacceptable The Board's legal action is taken to correct the terrible injustices that befall people people from Rhode Island. "

Schilling regularly contributes on the Boston ESPN website to answer fan questions about Red Sox or baseball in general.

In November 2014, Schilling was involved in an all-day Twitter debate with baseball writer Keith Law about the evolution-creation controversy, in which he defended creationism against the legal defense of evolution, after which ESPN decided to suspend Law's Twitter account. ESPN commented that "the suspension of Twitter Keith has absolutely nothing to do with his opinion on the matter", but it is still unclear what other motivations behind the action, since the conversation between Schilling and Law is reported to have "never really turned hostile," with many read the details felt that the suspension was "ridiculous". The Schilling account is not suspended, and he keeps tweeting. Back to Twitter after the ban was over, Law's first tweet "Eppur si muove" ("And he moved") explained that Schilling's complaint about his post contrary to his argument was actually the reason for the suspension.

On February 25, 2015, Schilling posted a congratulatory tweet to his 17-year-old daughter Gabby for his admission to college and school softball team.
