Curt Schilling, who has been a great pitcher in the majors for most of his baseball career, has decided to retire and not pursue another season. Schilling himself broke the news on his personal blog, saying that he has no regrets about this decision. Schilling has played for the Philadelphia Phillies, Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Boston Red Sox. Schilling won two championship rings with the Red Sox. He also won one, which was his first, with the Diamondbacks.
Schilling has been known to make controversial statements in the past. He has turned people against him, and there are also people who agree with most of the things he has to say. Nevertheless, Schilling has had a good 20 year career. There are doubts as to whether he should be a Hall of Famer because he only has 216 career wins.
I don't necessarily believe Schilling should be in the Hall of Fame. Schilling has had good seasons with the Red Sox and the Diamondbacks, but his career, in my opinion, with the Phillies, was not really impressive. His time spent with the Phillies was more than his time with the Diamondbacks and the Red Sox. He has shown the ability to come through in the playoffs, but he is nowhere close to 300 career wins and he hasn't always been impressive.
