Thoughts to forum member Curt Schilling - Page 3

I had no idea that Mr. Schilling was an OOTPer, let alone a forum member. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Schilling family. Hopefully the man with the Bloody Sock can make a roaring comeback.

Good luck Curt. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Not only is he a forum member, he has some of the absolute best dynasty reports that have ever been written on site. You'd be amazed by the level of detail he puts into them.

We're ALL behind you, Curt. Give cancer HELL!

Retired Star Pitcher Curt Schilling Will Fight Cancer 'Head On'

(CNN) Curt Schilling -- a standout pitcher who belonged to three World Series championship teams before becoming an ESPN analyst -- has cancer, he announced Wednesday.

The retired Major League Baseball player did not specify what type of cancer he had or his prognosis, only that "I've recently been diagnosed."

"I've always believed life is about embracing the gifts and rising up to meet the challenges," Schilling, 47, said in a statement. "... I've been so very blessed and I feel grateful for what God has allowed my family to have and experience, and I'll embrace this fight just like the rest of them, with resolute faith and head on."

After rising up the Boston Red Sox minor league ranks, Schilling broke into the Major Leagues with Baltimore in 1988. He went on to star with the Philadelphia Phillies before ascending another level in his career upon joining the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001.

That season, Schilling not only posted a 22-6 record and an ERA of 2.98, but he earned World Series MVP honors in leading the team to its first-ever championship.

He maintained the momentum the following season, when -- for the second straight year -- Major League players voted him as the National League's most outstanding pitcher.

Schilling went on to obtain legendary status in Boston upon returning to the Red Sox via trade before the 2004 season. The right-handed starter posted impressive numbers during the regular season, then didn't let an injury -- that left him with a famously bloody sock -- stop him from contributing to Boston's first World Series title in 86 years.

He retired in 2007, after the Red Sox again won the title, then led an ill-fated video game company based in Rhode Island.

ESPN would later hire him as a baseball analyst. The network issued a statement Wednesday saying, "His ESPN teammates wish him continued strength in his cancer fight, and we look forward to welcoming him back to our baseball coverage whenever he's ready."

This isn't the Schilling family's first brush with cancer. His wife, Shonda, went public -- even inviting cameras in to capture her fifth and final surgery -- in the early 2000s with her fight with malignant melanoma.

She afterward created the Shade Foundation of America, a group geared toward educating children about skin cancer and prevention.

--Marcus Hooper and Greg Botelho, CNN

Our thoughts and our prayers are with him during this difficult time of his life.

By the way, as most of us know, Curt is an avid fan of OOTP, and has on-going dynasty under his avatar Gehrig38 entitled The IBL's San Diego Sun Devils.

It's the bottom of the 9th, with bases loaded and two outs.
Curt Schilling stares down cancer at the plate, that's facing an 0-2 count. Here's the wind up...the pitch....CANCER STRIKES OUT! Game over!

GAME STATS:

You can beat this like a rented goalie, Curt!

This was the third time I tried this game and Mr.Schilling's interest in the game played a major part in my giving this game an even closer look this time around. Looking at his reports, then looking at Orcin's reports because he respects and enjoys his style, I then check out Orcin's stuff and it shows me a way to play and get into the game. No turning back, Schilling's influence is the key.

I want to echo statements of encouragement said in this thread. Curt, you're one tough dude, much tougher than cancer. I know you'll beat this thing. You'll be in my thoughts.

Beetle · 02-08-2014, 01:25 AM

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this fight.

And belated thanks for the giving me the joy of sitting with my dad and watching the Sox win in '04 and '07.
