For those who don't know who Curt Schilling is, he is a famous Red Sox pitcher.

In fairness, he played most of his career on other teams, but I guess he is associated with the Red Sox, but he won the World Series MVP with the Diamondbacks.

Schilling won two World Series with the Red Sox.

However, Curt is not just some pitcher who played with the red Sox for a few years. He was as committed to having the Red Sox win the WS as any player on that team. If he had not allowed surgeons to perform experimental surgery on his tendon the Red Sox would never have won the World Series. Most athletes would have declined the prospect of experimental surgery.

Around these parts Curt is considered a Red Sox legend.

Not to quibble because you are correct, but as a side note the Red Sox originally had Schilling in their farm system in the 1980s. They traded him to Baltimore as part of the deal to get Mike Boddicker. Schilling then went to the Phillies, Diamondbacks, etc.

Boddicker was a good pitcher, but how about having Clemens and Schilling in your rotation in the 1990s?
