<a href="/biography/curt-schilling">Curtis Montague Schilling</a> is a former <a href="/biography/curt-schilling">baseball pitcher</a>, <a href="/biography/curt-schilling">game developer</a> and is now currently working as a color analyst for ESPN. From 2014, he is the lead <a href="/biography/curt-schilling">analyst</a> for ESPN. He is married to Shonda Schilling and has four children. He lived in Medfield, but, in late 2013, his house and all his possessions were listed for sale.

<a href="/biography/curt-schilling">Curt Shilling</a> 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 <a href="/biography/curt-schilling">starter</a> 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.

His wife said that he is constantly stressed about money. She is the founder of the Shade Foundation of America. She was diagnosed with melanoma and the family launched a foundation to raise money for those who are fighting cancer. With Curt constantly on the road for his games and training, Shonda was burdened with the household works including taking care of the children. This stress pushed her into depression. The marriage between those two did not bring any publicity to Shonda. He would be gone for almost 9 months every year and she had to function like a single parent. Owing to her husband’s public fame, she wanted to maintain her image too.

His elder son had an eating disorder and was not able to focus in school. The same symptoms started for his elder daughter too. Soon, both of them were diagnosed with ADHD. With Shonda depressed, the kids having their own serious medical conditions and other problems, their marital relationship never took a turn towards divorce.  When their third son, Grant developed autism and became very difficult to cope with, their marital life started to take a toll. Curt blamed Shonda for not making him disciplined and he would take the role of quick fix all. Every phone call they had ended up in a fight. When they diagnosed what his problem was, their fighting stopped. In 2011, when Shonda was participating in a marathon race, he felt a sharp chest pain, but, did not seek help. After the race, he flew back to Boston and there the surgery to insert the stent was performed. They helped each other during their down time and took care that the family remains as a family.

Beyond all these problems, recently his company failed and lost him about 50 million dollars. He is selling all his possessions to tally the losses and the lawsuits. Even the stuffed toys and the décor antique things are up for sale. He sold his house recently and the whereabouts of his current residence is not known. After spending all his baseball fortune, his current net worth is 1 million dollars. There are no details about his worth, before he lost all his fortune. There are no detailed reports about his annual salary. Apart from these details, his previous dating life, girlfriends and other details are not available. Both of them were not married before. Though he has a long list of problems, his marital life seems to be constant, without any twists and turns.
