Curt Schilling has stepped off a Major League mound for the last time. Af
ter 216 victories, Schilling decided to call it quits earlier today. Many people debate whether Schilling is Hall-Of-Fame-Worthy but that should not even be a question. In five years, Curt Schilling deserves a plaque in Cooperstown .
Schilling deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame for not only everything he accomplished in the regular season, but also in the postseason. His 216 victories, 3.46 ERA, and3116 strikeouts, put him on the border of Hall of Fame pitcher or just a plain old good pitcher. What pushes Schilling onto the Hall of Fame pitcher side of the border is the way he pitched when October rolled around.
Curt Schilling is arguably the most dominant postseason pitcher of all-time. Schilling finished 11-2 in the postseason, the best record of any pitcher in MLB history with at least 10 decisions. Schilling also had a 2.23 ERA, and 120 strikeouts in 133.1 innings. Not only does Schilling have great numbers, but he was an integral part of three World Series Championship teams
(2001 with Arizona , 2004 and 2007 with Boston ).
Curt Schilling will always be remembered as a big game pitcher, a title he earned throughout his 20 Major League seasons. Schilling won four games in the 2001 postseason to give Arizona its first ever World Series title. In 2004, Schilling turned in two of the most heroic performances of all-time, pitching on a loose tendon in his right ankle to win Game 6 of the Red Sox epic 3-0 series comeback against the New York Yankees. Five days later, Schilling won Game 2 of the World Series to help give the Red Sox their first World Series title in 86 years.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame remembers the greatest players to ever play the game of
baseball. Curt Schilling has earned the right to be on that list because he was simply a winner. There should be no debate about whether Schilling deserves to have a plaque in Cooperstown . He was not just a good pitcher, he was great. In five years, Schilling should be able to add a Hall of Fame induction onto the list of everything he has accomplished in his baseball career.
