Hall of Fame Inducts Schilling: What a way to cap a glorious career — get elected to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. That’s exactly what happened to pitching star, Curt Schilling. The Baseball Writers Association rewarded him for his sensational seasons on the mound and today he took his place among the baseball immortals.
Schilling told the audience at the ceremonies, “Baseball has been my life … and what a wonderful life it has been. The truth is I would have played it for almost nothing — but I wouldn’t have told any of the owners that.”
Schilling had a career record of 216 victories and 146 losses with 3116 strikeouts in 3261 innings and a 3.46 ERA. He was 41 when he retired from baseball, and he appeared in 569 games.
