Yup, you went A, C, B...and that's my opinion. I think Schilling was an absolute gamer. He was certainly "as good" as Glavine and Maddux, and in some ways better.

That post-season mark of 11-2 is beyond stellar. He was every bit as intense a competitor as Bob Gibson.

People don't realize that Schilling (and his wife) did a great deal of community work.

If someone wanted to pick Maddux over Schilling, I wouldn't debate much. Maddux was fantastic. But I'd argue that Schilling is no worse than #2 of the three. Glavine had control problems his entire career. Glavine was certainly a class guy...but for him to get into the Hall and for Schilling to have such a low vote % isn't right.

As for "off the field" stuff, I wonder if Schilling's failed business venture with the bad video games had anything to do with the low vote.

I did read that Schilling will be the lead ESPN baseball analyst on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball telecasts.
