Curt Schilling to Hall of Fame Voters: If You're Keeping Me Out For Political Reasons 'Kiss My Butt'

Baseball’s annual Hall of Fame class was announced Tuesday night. And former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling fell short of the necessary 75 percent vote total required for induction into Cooperstown. The retired Red Sox ace garnered 45 percent of the vote, down from 52.3 in 2016.

In an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show Thursday, host Dan Patrick asked the outspoken conservative Schilling why he thought his vote total fell this year.

“We all know why,” Schilling said. “Because I’m not — I’m not quiet. I think if I didn’t talk, I might have gotten in this time.

“But you know me,” Schilling told Patrick. “And you know that’s not who I am.”

1. That kind of attitude will get you nowhere, Curt . . .

Being a right-wing ASSHOLE doesn't help either.

2. The late, great Jim Fregosi

Phillies manager when Schilling was a big hero in the 1993 playoffs, said it best: "Every 5 days Curt's a real horse on the mound. The other 4 days he's just a horse's ass."

3. Doesn't he still owe $75 million to the Rhode Island taxpayers?

For his failed video gaming business?

4. Actually, it's your sunny disposition keeping you out.

5. Part of me thinks his athletic talents should be recognized.

The guy is a dumbass and a bigot, but his failures as a human being have nothing to do with his baseball career.

Whatever. I don't really feel strongly about this issue either way. I can't say I give much of a fuck what happens to this imbecile.

7. Can't wait until Elizabeth Warren kicks your ass in 2018

(He's running against her for Senate).

8. i doubt he will even win the primary

9. I just looked at his stats and he should be in already

I've never cared to look, but damn multi Cy Young's, multiple WS MVPs, lots of big game wins, led three different staffs to WS wins, 241 wins (used to be 300 but the reliever era changed that). Guy is getting screwed because he's an asshole. Seems he's the only one that is right now however.

[Demit]

10. What? He never won a Cy Young Award.

[ghostsinthemachine]

11. I must be looking at something else

My reference is hard to reàd. 214 wins. But 300ⁿ strikeouts has always been an automatic every time.n(excellent Clemons)
