Title: Curt Schilling Life Review

Curt Schilling is a former World Series winning MLB pitcher with the Boston Red Sox. He made millions and was famous for the Curt Schilling bloody sock game he was on top of the world, but once retirement hit it wasn’t nearly as sweet as his playing career.
After his playing career ended Curt had a little passion project he wanted to start up. It was the Curt Schilling video game company called 38 studios. Curt invested $50million dollars into the company which all went down the drain as the company went bankrupt. Curt Schilling broke were the headlines everywhere as everyone thought his investment fail would surely cost him everything. Fortunately for Curt he didn’t lose everything from the company going bankrupt, but in February of 2014, Curt Schilling was diagnosed with cancer.  The years of dipping, and using chewing tobacco had come back to haunt Curt as he was diagnosed with mouth cancer. He is still fighting with cancer and in a recent interview said he doesn’t want people to feel sorry for him because he brought it on himself through years of dipping. It’s clear that Curt has had a great playing career, and has been on the top of the world, but also been pretty close to the bottom. One thing’s for sure is that his attitude towards adversity is nothing short of incredible, and I wish him nothing but the best during his recovery and fight with cancer. He was a hall of fame ballot few years ago but didn’t get in.

Should Curt enter the Hall of Fame this coming year?
