Book Curt Schilling

Curt Schilling is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher whose big-game performances made him one of October's most trusted arms. The right-hander pitched for the Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies, Arizona Diamondbacks and Boston Red Sox after starting at Yavapai College and in the Red Sox farm system. He helped lead the Phillies to the 1993 World Series, then won three championships: in 2001 with Arizona, where he shared World Series MVP honors, and in 2004 and 2007 with Boston. Schilling went 11 and 2 in the postseason, an .846 winning percentage unmatched by any big-league pitcher with ten or more playoff decisions. He reached 3,000 career strikeouts, posted the best strikeout-to-walk ratio among its retired members and is tied for third in seasons with 300 strikeouts. His honors include the Branch Rickey Award for community service and induction into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame, and he appeared in the film Million Dollar Arm (2014). Schilling shares vivid stories of championship pressure, preparation and pitching under the brightest lights in baseball.
