Curt Schilling Officially Retires

One of the greatest pitchers of the most infamous eras in baseball, Curt Schilling has called it a career. Schilling, 42, announced his retirement on his blog, 38pitches.weei.com.

Schilling is perhaps most remembered for the bloody sock episode during the 2004 postseason. Schil is also remembered for being one of the most dominant postseason pitchers in the game, posting an 11-2 record and has been on 3 World Champion teams and has won the World Series MVP once, along with co-MVP Randy Johnson on the 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks. In the regular season Schilling has won 216 games in his career.

Schilling used to call in to WEEI one Thursday every month and now he is appearing in studio for The Big Show, still once a month on a Thursday. He will also continue his charity work in Boston.
