Hey Curt Schilling, why’d you wait until now to trash the Hall of Fame election? | Klapisch Updated Jan 27, 2021; Facebook Share There’s one question I’d like to ask Curt Schilling today: Why did he wait until his ninth year of eligibility in the Hall of Fame voting to decide the process was corrupt? Why not bolt in Year One? Is it because the results didn’t go his way on Tuesday? Schilling came within 16 votes of Cooperstown but suddenly decided the election was unworthy of him. It was a bad look, impulsive and childish. Please, sir, get over yourself. I voted for you. So did many writers who a) disagree with your politics; b) were appalled by your “joke” about lynching reporters; and c) were willing to ignore all the polarizing things you’ve said over the years. They, like me, believe entry to the Hall should be determined strictly by achievements and conduct on the field.
