Curt Schilling of Red Sox announces retirement - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

BOSTON (AP)—Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling says he’s retiring from baseball.

The 42-year-old right-hander who won World Series championships with Arizona and Boston announced on his blog Monday that he’s leaving after 23 years with “zero regrets.”

Schilling missed all of last season with a shoulder injury. He had surgery last June and had said he might come back in the middle of this season. He made no reference to his injury on his blog, saying only he was very grateful.

Schilling won a World Series with Arizona in 2001 and with Boston in 2004 and 2007. For his career, he has the 14th most strikeouts in baseball history. He leaves with a 216-146 record and 3.46 ERA.

I always thought he was a real good pitcher but off the field he is something else.

Same here!

He came to Boston and he freakin delivered. He'll be a legend in Boston forever.

But he can shut up now.

He --without a doubt in my mind-- strategically made this announcement today so that this news would be reported on a slow sports day.

Odds are, he made the decision last week but didn't want it to be overshadowed by the NCAA tournament.

At least there were no tears shed...

With the above said, he's clearly one of the best postseason pitchers of all-time and somebody who played the game the way it was supposed to be played.

The bloody sock en route to the Red Sox first World Series Championship since before christ will forever be etched in time as one of the greatest moments in sports history.

Congratulations Curt on an incredible career.

Do you really think he's done talking?

If anything, he'll be sharing his opinions more and not just on wanting to shut 55,000 Yankee fans up but on everything.

I see politics in his future.

I actually think he will be the spokesman for Hunts ketchup.

I was actually genuinely curious on this one.

Min0 blasting me for my Jeter disdain and Iain shitting on me for wanting to eat the police officer who arrested me' heart has had me on the defensive of late though.

Why Hunts?
