Curt Shilling has had an amazing career as a pitcher in the Major League Baseball. His career starts as a second round pick for the Boston Red Sox which he went through their farm system in 1988. His Major League debut came with the Orioles in 1988 to 1990. From there he spent a year with the Houston Astros in 1991.

From the years 1992 to 2000, Schilling played for the Philadelphia Phillies. He really made a name for himself here and took his spot as a pitcher to be feared on the field. Schilling was named to the NL All Star team in 1997, 1998, and 1999 and he even was a starter for the 1999 game. In 1997, he finished 14th in NL Most Valuable Player voting and fourth in NL Cy Young voting. Unhappy with his team's regular season and playoff performance, he requested a trade to a world championship contender in 2000 and was subsequently sent off to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

While with the Diamondbacks, Schilling went 22-6 with a 2.98 ERA in 2001, leading the majors in wins and innings pitched. During the postseason, he was incredible, by going 4–0 with a 1.12 ERA in the playoffs. In the 2001 World Series, the Diamondbacks beat the New York Yankees, who were favorites to win it all that year,  in seven intense and close knit games. Schilling was 1-0 in that World Series with a 1.69 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 21 innings. In 2004, the Arizona Diamondbacks traded Curt Schilling to the Boston Red Sox. 

During his first year at Boston, Schilling ended his regular season with a 21–6 record. During the post season playoff run, Schilling had his most memorable playoff moment yet. The infamous bloody sock game, in which Schilling won Game 6 of the ALCS against the New York Yankees, forcing a game 7, in which Boston would go on to win, while being heavily injured with a torn tendon in his right ankle. The injury was so bad that the sock was soaked through with blood by the end of the game. The bloody sock is said to have been played in the Baseball Hall of Fame, after Boston defeated St. Louis to win the World Series. The four game sweep of the World Series erased the Curse of the Bambino in Boston.

Schilling went on to win another World Series with Boston in 2007. The next year, Curt Schilling announced his retirement from baseball. The injuries and time away from family had finally taken it's toll on the man. He had accomplished everything he set out to do in the world of baseball, and was ready for another venture. 

After retirement, Schilling started a video game company, then called Green Monster Games. It is said that the video game company; which he later renamed as Studio 38, after his jersey number, he owned, failed and also gained him a few lawsuits, which forced him to sell all his possessions. The video game company had a successful release of their first title, but unfortunately, sales were not enough to pay back the massive loans Schilling needed to take out to keep the company afloat. This caused the company to default on their loans, and lay off nearly their entire staff, just three months after releasing their game.
