   He won’t retire in a Phillies uniform or go to the HOF in a Phillies jersey. He didn’t really seem to like it here that much. Honestly though, if he’s able to pitch next year and wants to pitch I’d sign him for cheap for a playoff run. That guy has the amazing post season numbers.

   No, he did like it here. He hated the way management treated him toward the end. But he always said he liked Philly and the fans, etc.

   I don’t think it matters what or who he liked, for I am pretty sure the Hall took the decision away from the player after that Wade Boggs/Devil Rays thing a few years back. If you go by the numbers, he should go in with a Phillies hat whether he likes it or not.

   Well, that’s good. I’d love to see him get signed 2nd half of next season and take us to the World Series. I feel that he has the mentality even if he doesn’t have the stuff still to pitch lights out in the post season. Then he can just retire in a Phillies jersey. I always liked Schilling a lot.

   Yeah, but they can go by more than just numbers. He had his career year in Arizona. He won’t 2 championships with the BoSox and 1 with the D-Backs. He had all of those legendary games with the BoSox, like the bloody sock. We’ll see what happens.

   He won his first World Series with the Diamondbacks… he was Co-MVP of the World Series with them too.. I think he should go in as a Diamondback.

   I say HOF. I will never forget game 5 of the ‘93 series. That was gutsy classic pitching.

    He ain’t going in as a Phillie. Nice thought, but it’s his post-season performances that will get him into the Hall to begin with.

11. Phil Says:

    Agreed Lewisauce. He’ll probably go in wearing a Red Sox uniform just because they’re the Red Sox, either that or a D-Backs because they probably don’t have a representative yet.

    Schilling had his best years as a Phillie and the best World Series game he pitched was by far in 1993. Not sure he goes to the HOF as one though.

    Well Johnson should go in as a D-Back, IMO. Pretty even in service between the Ms and D-Backs, and he won a Series and four Cy Youngs with them.

14. Phil Says:

    True, Randy Johnson will def. go in as a D-Back.

    The real question is whether I can wear my phillies cap to my job at Burger King.

    I’m assuming Travis Lee, Andy Reid, and Wes Helms are all the same person. Very clever to say the least. The Travis Lee comment actually made me lol.

    Talking about “spinach wraps” on this website makes you sound really feminine.

    What your forgetting is the fact that Curt has a deep understanding and love of the history of the game. He goes in as a Red Sox Player,no doubt in my mind.

    I loved Schilling as a Phillie in the early to mid 90s, but he should probably be in the HOF as a Red Sox. He won two World Series with them and the bloody sock game (despite conspiracy theorists views to the contrary) will go down in sports lore forever. The Hall of Fame is before anything else a sports museum and a place to go and take in baseball history, and Schilling’s place in history for everyone other than us fans here in Philly was cemented as a Red Sox pitcher, not as a Phillies pitcher.

    1. He should not be a hall of famer. I don’t think he should be that close actually.

    2. If he is, it should 100% be as a phillie. Not even b/c of the stats, but b/c of the years. If you play 9 years with one team, then 3 with another and 4 with a 3rd, it shouldn’t be a debate I’d hope.

22. Phil Says:

    Mike W…to say Schilling isn’t a hall of famer is ridiculous. That guy is one of the top 5 best post season pitchers of all time. He has other ridiculous records too, like 1 of 3 pitchers to have 3 300 or more strike out seasons. He’s 14th of all time in ks. If he didn’t have so many injuries in his career he’d be sitting at well over 300 wins and 4,000ks. To say he shouldn’t make the HOF is like saying Griffey shouldn’t make the HOF.

    Listen,

    I’m fat… I pitch well in the post-season…and I write about Kobe Bryant on my blog just to make sure my name isn’t forgotten on ESPN.

    I still hate Mitch Williams.

    Has Schilling any say in this matter?
