Schilling's Red Sock and Peyton's Politics
This first one is hilarious.
Gary Thorne, a play by play announcer for the Baltimore Orioles, claimed last night during the bradcast of the O's/Sox game that Doug Mirabelli (Red Sox catcher) told him that Curt Schilling's bloody sock was actually just painted to look bloody.
Schilling's sock became an object of obsession during game 6 of the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees. At the time, Schilling's ankle had been "patched together" with a "wall of stitches."
Mirabelli claims he never said it, Terry Francona is "stunned" at Thorne's claims.
What to do? Test the damn thing. In case you missed it, the sock is at Cooperstown in the baseball hall of fame.
Oh, and just in case anyone was still wondering, Peyton Manning is a Republican.
