Curt Schilling Retires

Yesterday, one of the all time great post-season pitchers announced his retirement from baseball. Curt Schilling had been pitching in baseball for twenty years. He is regarded as the greatest post-season pitchers of all time. He has accomplished a great deal as a player including the following:

* 6x All-Star selection (1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004)
* 3x World Series champion (2001, 2004, 2007)
* 2001 World Series MVP
* 2001 NL TSN Pitcher of the Year
* 2001 Roberto Clemente Award
* 2001 Babe Ruth Award
* 2001 Branch Rickey Award
* 2001 Hutch Award
* 1995 Lou Gehrig Memorial Award
* 1993 NLCS MVP

The year he won the World Series in 2001, he pitched on the same team is Randy Johnson which was a deadly one-two punch that lineups had to face on back-to-back nights. A few years later they would on opposite sides in the classic Red Sox-Yankees rivalry which saw Curt Schilling win two World Series with the Boston Red Sox. Curt Schilling will definitely be in the Hall of Fame. There is not a lot of guys who can say they have three World Series Rings. Congratulations Curt Schilling on a wonderful career and you will definitely be missed in the game of baseball. Long live the bloody sock.
