Curt Schilling, arguably the best big-game pitcher of his era, again fell short in the Hall of Fame voting, but he gained considerable momentum in his fourth year on the ballot.
Schilling jumped to 52.3 percent of the vote from the Baseball Writers' Association of America in this year's election, the results of which were revealed Wednesday night on MLB Network. Schilling received 39.2 percent of the vote last year.
A candidate needs 75 percent of the votes to become a member of the Hall of Fame. Schilling has six more years of eligibility.
