Few candidates for the Baseball Hall of Fame draw as much attention and controversy as former Phillies ace Curt Schilling. He’s just as outspoken on his personal beliefs as he was dominant on the pitching rubber.
Some can’t put Schilling’s political stances aside when they open their Hall of Fame ballot, while others view their vote as one fo the player, not the person.
Schilling has been on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot for seven years and finished last year with 51.2 percent of the votes, up 6.2 percent from the year before. His total votes have gone backwards twice and he still hasn’t fully recovered after receiving 52.
