Great article, thanks, surprised that Jim Rice never used said trainer head’s for a T-ball practice. Yawkey got his, never got a WS ring for his second rate minor league team. Karma

There are very fewer bigger POS’s in sports than this guy. A selfish, gutless coward. I’m loving every minute of watching his downfall.

Curt Schilling going broke – couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy! Watching an arch-conservative whine about the fact that the government won’t subsidize his private business: priceless.

I remember seeing the sock when I went to Cooperstown a few years ago…thought it was a permanent display. Regardless of the controversy, it was neat to see. I hope the money from the sock can go towards helping out some of the employees that got screwed over.

I still say he is not deserving of the Hall of Fame.

You mean FAKE bloody sox. I do remember reading an article where a former Red Sox teammate of Curt said that the sox was a fake. Knowing what I know about the character of Schilling, I do believe the other guy and why would another ballplayer lie about that?

If I wanted ketchup on my socks I would just go get a free packet at Mickey D’s. Why would anyone enter a bid for a ketchup stained sock? Oops my bad, we are talking about the same fan base that actually rooted for the estrogen queen Manny so I guess anything is possible.

This ISN”T the sock that everyone thinks it is. It’s a different sock from Game 2 of the WS. Who cares…

Um, well, it all kinda does that. Paper. Leather. Cotton. Yeah, it all has to be preserved.

Assuming that one wants to spend big $$ on baseball memorabilia, does it really make sense to buy something that might decompose or deteriorate?

“Schilling listed the sock as collateral in his company’s bankruptcy filing back in October.”

That is the one of the funniest things I have read… ever. I should try this with my lender.

So, hypothetically, if I could get, say one of Curt’s kidneys, how much would that be worth?

Whatever the hell the character clause means. Look: TOM YAWKEY IS IN THE HALL OF FAME. http://www.thepostgame.com/features/201111/another-era-and-another-sport-sex-abuse-scandal-still-inflicting-pain-today

Please don’t pretend that the clause is a reason to vote against someone. TOM YAWKEY IS IN THE HALL OF FAME.

I’m giving a thumbs up to the first part of that sentence. I don’t want anyone’s old sock under any circumstances.

Good grief, there are soup kitchens that could use a few bucks and there’s people who are going to try and buy a sock.

Schilling really screwed over a lot of families when his video game company tanked, and didn’t handle the public scrutiny of his business decisions with much grace or class. You want to talk character clause? How about a guy who cut off his employees health care without telling them after convincing them to move their families to Rhode Island by claiming his company would sell their old houses, which it never did? That’s a real stand up guy right there. I hope the sock nets more than it’s expected to and that Schilling doesn’t see a dime of it.

A real warrior Shill needs and deserves the hall of fame
