Schilling was known for his competitive fire and his durability. He was one of the most dominant pitchers in the game during the late 1990s and early 2000s. He retired in 2009 with a 216-146 record and a 3.46 ERA.
Schilling was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2012. He is a controversial figure, however, due to his outspoken views on a variety of topics, including politics and religion.
In 2022, Schilling was fired from his job as a baseball analyst for ESPN after he made a transphobic remark on social media.
Schilling remains a popular figure among many baseball fans, but he is also a divisive figure due to his controversial views and behavior.
