Curt Schilling retired today. He was born 3 months after I was, and I watched his career for a long time.
Best of all, I watched him pitch game 7 of the 2001 World Series, when the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees in the bottom of the 9th inning. He went on to pitch for Boston, winning 2 more world championships.
Schilling was always one of the hardest working pitchers in baseball. He prepared meticulously for every batter, compiling his own computerized statistical database of nearly every hitter he ever faced.
He's certainly never been shy to have an opinion. I hope he goes into baseball broadcasting.
