Well, we no longer will have Curt Schilling to kick around anymore ... or will we? Would Curt ever go away completely? I sure hope not. What we now have is the beginning of the Schilling Hall of Fame debate. Today is the day that debate officially begins. My call is that he will indeed make the Hall, though probably not on the first ballot.
What makes Schilling a Hall of Famer? We have about 216 career wins (I think, but I'm not looking at his stats) which is impressive, but that's not the best story. Without a doubt, it's his 11-2 postseason record accompanied by a microscopic ERA. Simply put, he was the big-game pitcher of his generation and led two ballclubs to World Championships: the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Boston Red Sox. Heck, his last appearance was winning a game in the 2007 postseason. I see Schill entering the Hall as a Diamondback and delivering a long, elegant, and heartfelt speech.
Hats off and future celebrations for the great Curt Schilling.
