I voted for Curt Schilling for the Baseball Hall of Fame. So did more than 71% of the people who cast ballots. It means two things: that the former pitcher came up short of the 75% necessary for induction and that, despite Schilling’s belief that everyone is against him for his far-right ideology, a boatload of people consider him Hall material.
That didn’t stop him from requesting that his name be taken off the 2021 ballot for his final year of eligibility. After his eligibility expires, his name will go before the Today’s Game Committee, composed of Hall members, executives and veteran media members, for Hall of Fame consideration.
