And uppers.
But, the whispers were out there.
Guy picked up 3mph on his slider & fastball both with 25% higher spin rate.
In 2 years; after he was 30.
And, steroid use can lead to dermal injuries being slow to heal. Remember the bloody sock? For an injury incurred 4 days prior. And was still bleeding?
Hmmmmmmm!!!!

They still are. Schilling thinks he's not getting into the HoF because of his political views.
But, the reality is people view him as a cheater.
He also wasn't in the top 10 pitchers in his own era.
He was overrated, he cheated, and he is an ass. No HoF.

Curt Schilling Arrested – Allegedly Involved In Crowdfunding Fraud
By Zach Silver - August 20, 2020 46 0
curt schilling arrested
===========
Curt Schilling, arrested this morning, was identified as a member of the “Advisory Board” on Steve Bannon’s shell website.


“According to the indictment, which you can read here, the four men allegedly used fake invoices and sham “vendor” arrangements, among other schemes, to ensure, “as Kolfage noted in a text message to Badolato, that his pay arrangement remained ‘confidential’ and kept on a ‘need to know’ basis.” While Kolfage publicly promised he would “not take a penny in salary or compensation,” he is accused of covertly taking more than $350,000 for his personal use. Bannon is accused of receiving over $1 million, “at least some of which Bannon used to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in Bannon’s personal expenses.” –

This isn’t the first time Curt Schilling has been found involved in some sort of fradulent scheme.
In fact it’s at least the third or fourth time.

Rhode Islanders are still paying for the $75M stunt he pulled with his 38 Studios video game company. This guy is a shyster if ever was.

which isn't to say it won't happen on a future day.

https://www.dailydot.com/debug/curt-schilling-build-the-wall-arrest-rumors/

<snip>

But many people have loose associations with the fundraising group, including former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, ex-Congressman Tom Tancredo, former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, and former MLB pitcher Curt Schilling.

They are all listed as part of the We Build the Wall advisory board.

None of those men were arrested, but a viral article from a dubious news site helped spark a rumor that Schilling, who led the Red Sox and Diamondbacks to World Series wins, was among those arrested.

I'm sorry, but there's seems to be something fishy going on with that scam, for sure, but I just can't see him being involved in that part of it.

He's a republican, no doubt, but I still like him. He helped the Red Sox win four games against the New York Yankee machine in 2004 (with the help of a cadaver and a bloody sock), and for the first time in 86 years, they finally beat the curse of the Babe, and won the WS.

and each and every one of its residents by bailing on $75M loan for his 38 Studios video company.

Many of these Rhode Islanders, by the way, probably spent a pretty penny towards his salary through ticket and merchandise purchases.

Yup, real nice guy.

Why would anyone put him on a board. He lost everything to a con man peddling a video game.
