@@balrog322 If he's not inducted, then its because the writers are biased against him because of his politics. Because he's got the numbers. He wouldn't wear a MAGA hat though, it would be cool if he did. I would hope he'd wear a Red Sox hat. I'm from Massachusetts.
One of the Best Post Season pitchers in baseball history, definitely a Hall of Famer! So sad what these ignorant sports writers are doing to him because they disagree with his political views! Don’t give in Curt! Stay strong in your beliefs!
His beliefs are fucking retarded, but his career still deserves to be enshrined in the hall because he is the best postseason pitcher ever. I just wish the writers could look past his shitty beliefs and vote for him.
@@imheel9727 Big Papi was on the 2003 team that came up short, granted because of a terrible decision by Grady Little, but even if they won the ALCS I’m not sure they would have beat the Marlins. Adding another frontline pitcher to compliment Pedro is what finally put them over the top.
Roberto Clemente award is just that, an award, they don't look into a player's whole life. If you follow his post-career nonsense then you'd see why he hasn't been voted in, you can understand it but you don't have to agree with it.
Curt schilling is 216-146 3000 plus K’s less than 1000 bb. His wins are borderline but he 11-2 2.33 era in the postseason one of the best big games pitcher ever. But if it wasn’t for Mitch Williams and Kim blowning 3 games he will be 14-2 in the postseason. He should get in. And IMO if jack morris is in the hall, schilling should be.
Well said. He was a critical part of 2 of the most memorable postseason runs ever: Denying the Yankees a 4-peat and ending Boston’s curse. Had he not been great those two postseasons, how differently would that decade have been in baseball?
Exactly, I think you're a leftist loser, and if you had a pitching career like his, and I had a vote , I'd vote for you on the first ballot. That's the difference those that think he's a "conservo-radical moon bat and rest of us that live real lives, and aren't indocrinated in "journalism" school.
I agree! It’s based on the writers opinion on if they like or dislike a player! Are you saying mike mussina has better career accomplishments than curt schilling? No he doesn’t but he is a good guy! Why iss the hall of fame entrance is on the guy character after his playing career? Time changes and the person changes. He isn’t about the uneducated liberals! He wants hard working people to accomplish their goals instead of hand outs.
It's also hypocrisy, they wouldn't give the Hall of Fame to Barry bonds, Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez for taking steroids but yet they gave it to David Ortiz who was tested positive for it And I don't even like Barry bonds or Roger Clemens at all but they definitely deserve the Hall of Fame
My dad and I saw him pitch for the Charlotte Knights in 1988. He caught a line drive with his bare hand and we knew he was going to be a ML star. O's let another great one get away when they traded him to the Astros. 79.5 career WAR - probably top 20 RHP all time.
Great interview by Bob Costas. Him validating that voters didn’t agree with his political beliefs so they don’t vote for him &&& it’s great how he validated his overall career+playoff stats (such as the playoff teams he played in go 5-0 in elimination games @ 5:14)
Unfortunately, things outside of baseball, AFTER he retired, are going to keep him out of the Hall of Fame, the voters are unable to focus solely on his contributions. Even without the Bloody Sock game, he has the right to be in the Hall. But if one event can get a Hall of Fame induction, it is the Bloody Sock game. the fact that he was even able to play, let alone be very effective, is something that is so incredible, there should be zero doubt.
If he did not cheat with steroids or similar, then he deserves to be in the hall of fame. You may not agree with his personal views or beliefs but they do not count for his sport records

@Harry Engel HOCKEY! The Rangers hadn't won a cup in decades when Messier, who had, brought a championship to then, just as Curt did for the Red Sox.

So called "post season" accomplishments separate some greats from others and Curt (who because of poor managing decisions was deprived of 2 more post season wins), warrants a place in the HOF, with a letter of apology for the ridiculous delay. The analogy of Messier is a compliment.
as baseball goes he belongs in the H.O.F ,what people say and act on about poltics has no being on what a great pitcher Curt Schilling was in Baseball yes!! he has earned his spot in the Baseball H.O.F.
Humans make all sorts of mistakes ,public and private, known and unknown. Does character effect performance? Are all hall members great people? Or are they just great players?
You know, I don't even know who got in this year. Much of the reason I don't care is that the baseball writers seem to make the voting process about them and not the folks they're voting on. It's just not as relevant to me anymore.
None did, which actually makes your point. There are at least 5 players who should have gotten in this year, but they didn't because of what you point out: their ego's and who they think is "worthy" and making it about them. It's a sad, pathetic joke at this point.
He looks a bit beat down, possibly humbled by all the criticism. (of his own making btw) I completely agree he should be in the HOF, it should be based on performance and not decided by wether an athletes political views align with the writers. The current phenomenon of dividing people because they have an opposing opinion is a cancer, you don’t have to like or agree to treat someone as a human being first. If nothing else by doing this you are being a light for that person to look at.
If Curt Schilling is not in the Hall of Fame because a bunch of childish journalists want to make political points, that tells me that they are not very comfortable about the moral foundation their politics are based on. I agree with much of what Schilling says, but if I didn't, I would still happily vote for him because I'm confident enough that I'm correct, that I don't have to act like a child and hold my precious vote over him. Playing petty games is not done from a position of strength, it is done when you can no longer challenge someone ideologically with a well rounded argument based on objective reasoning. And Costas, to his credit gets this because he disagrees with Curt ideologically, but he isn't a child about it.
Curt Schilling HOF status is clear. He is being kept out because of his opinions and beliefs. I'm might not agree with his philosophies but I can separate that from what he did in his career. This is coming from a person who grew up a Yankee fan. He deserves it, and the fact he is being left out while the HOF has individuals with far worse reputations is criminal.
He's definitely a hall-of-famer based on his on-field achievements, which is all that should matter. That said, there is a lesson to be learned here: If you feel the need to run your mouth on social media and piss people off with your arrogance, don't be surprised if they respond in kind.
His personality and personal opinions have nothing to do with his play. Im sure I wouldnt like to spend a day with him but that man on the mound was a HOF player.
He probably would have gotten in this past year...but because he just missed in 2020, he cried about it and said "take me off the ballot"....so the voters did just that.
He's a disturbed man. For whatever reason. Look at his eyes. He is not a satisfied, wealthy adult man, and he should be. Seriously I hope he gets help as a human.
In this city we trade away future stars and get every other “star” 5 year past his prime.. Chris Webber, nmande asumough, etc... All Schill did after leaving was win 3 rings and finish top 3 in cy young 4 times
This is why Curt deserves the HOF, and Pete Rose doesn't. Curt never lied to the nation, for many years at that, about his behavior within baseball. Curt has always been an honest guy, and whether you liked his views or not (that rope-tree bit was very cringeworthy), he represented the game well. Rose vehemently denied illegal actions that were proven to be true from the start. America can be a forgiving nation, when you own up. Had Rose owned up when he got banned, he might be in the HOF now. It sounds to me like Curt is owning up, and what he did was stupid, not dishonest.
But what the writers spitefully did was deprived Williams of two MVPs, unbelievably including his .406 batting average and I believe one, maybe two creeps omitted him completely from the ballot.
2 triple crowns. 2 of them and both times he did not get voted MVP . Every player who won triple crown won MVP except him both times and 406. And 1 person did not put him in top 10. So thats 3 he should of won.
Curt schilling piss a lot of people off but their no denying his postseason record and his career. Guy belongs in the Hall

He should be in hands down....if he’s not a conservative he’s in already, this is absurd
No fan of the Schilling's politics but definitely think he belongs in the HOF.
What the fu×+ kurt shilling is not in the hall of fame???? I remember him being fired for some silly reason from espn. THIS GUY IS AMAZING!
why is curt schilling Hated for what reason?
I don't agree with most the shit he says and his political views but the dude was a monster player in the playoffs. He should be in the hall of fame
What (the hack) Bob Costas is really trying to say is Curt belongs into the hall of fame despite the Karen's in the sports media.
Hey how about Curts tweet during the INSURRECTION at the Capital? Sincerely, a KAREN....
He’s going to wear a MAGA hat at his induction 😂
So. Who cares?
He won't kneel during the national anthem.
nymike06 it’s called a joke kid
he wont have an induction lol
Not after he gets indicted for fraud.....again.
@@nymike06 MAGAs are phony patriots. Frauds.
If Curt Schilling is not in the Hall of Fame because a bunch of childish journalists want to make political points, that tells me that they are not very comfortable about the moral foundation their politics are based on. I agree with much of what Schilling says, but if I didn't, I would still happily vote for him because I'm confident enough that I'm correct, that I don't have to act like a child and hold my precious vote over him. Playing petty games is not done from a position of strength, it is done when you can no longer challenge someone ideologically with a well rounded argument based on objective reasoning. And Costas, to his credit gets this because he disagrees with Curt ideologically, but he isn't a child about it.
Table for one
Curt Schilling HOF status is clear. He is being kept out because of his opinions and beliefs. I'm might not agree with his philosophies but I can separate that from what he did in his career. This is coming from a person who grew up a Yankee fan. He deserves it, and the fact he is being left out while the HOF has individuals with far worse reputations is criminal.
Yankees fan n curt ptsd survivor.
He won every must win game. Every. Single. One.
U can have ur koufax ur cy ur pedro. Ill take curt
It is the Baseball HoF not the Leftist HoF, correct?
Reminds me of rush Limbaugh
He's definitely a hall-of-famer based on his on-field achievements, which is all that should matter. That said, there is a lesson to be learned here: If you feel the need to run your mouth on social media and piss people off with your arrogance, don't be surprised if they respond in kind.
Curt is an advocate for free speech. He's allowed to be that.
7Roeth Unfortunately, free speech extends to the vote- and that includes baseball writers.
Not a Red Sox fan but he is talented should be in the Hall but kept out because of his politics.
His personality and personal opinions have nothing to do with his play.
Im sure I wouldnt like to spend a day with him but that man on the mound was a HOF player.
He sounds alot like John Smoltz...
Why is costas giving him free PR advice
He probably would have gotten in this past year...but because he just missed in 2020, he cried about it and said "take me off the ballot"....so the voters did just that.
I don't want Curt Schilling in the baseball HOF.
I want Curt Schilling to have the ball in his hands if he were on my team.
What a weird dichotomy.
He's a disturbed man. For whatever reason. Look at his eyes. He is not a satisfied, wealthy adult man, and he should be. Seriously I hope he gets help as a human.
As a Phillies fan another great trade in Phillies history trading him away
Julian C you mean you didn’t like Travis lee and Omar deal and of course Vincete Padilla
In this city we trade away future stars and get every other “star” 5 year past his prime.. Chris Webber, nmande asumough, etc...
All Schill did after leaving was win 3 rings and finish top 3 in cy young 4 times
This is why Curt deserves the HOF, and Pete Rose doesn't. Curt never lied to the nation, for many years at that, about his behavior within baseball. Curt has always been an honest guy, and whether you liked his views or not (that rope-tree bit was very cringeworthy), he represented the game well. Rose vehemently denied illegal actions that were proven to be true from the start.
America can be a forgiving nation, when you own up. Had Rose owned up when he got banned, he might be in the HOF now. It sounds to me like Curt is owning up, and what he did was stupid, not dishonest.
Ted Williams hated the media too but he was so good the horrible writers could not keep him out
But what the writers spitefully did was deprived Williams of two MVPs, unbelievably including his .406 batting average and I believe one, maybe two creeps omitted him completely from the ballot.
2 triple crowns. 2 of them and both times he did not get voted MVP . Every player who won triple crown won MVP except him both times and 406. And 1 person did not put him in top 10. So thats 3 he should of won.
