Curt Shilling, the man behind the up and coming MMOG developer 38 Studios and famed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, is hanging up one of his hats and retiring from baseball. While baseball fans everywhere mourn this loss, those of us who have been keeping an eye on 38 Studios can't help but hope this means Curt will be swinging more focus towards his creative outlet of game design. Will we be seeing big things from them shortly? Only time will tell!
You can read his announcement in his official blog 38 Pitches.
Turn out the lights the partys over
I used to wait with bated breath for Don Meredith to start singing that on Monday night football. Normally it was sweet music if the Steelers were playing.
If I could get him to sing it again I would. This party has officially ended. After being blessed to experience 23 years of playing professional baseball in front of the worlds best fans in so many different places, it is with zero regrets that I am making my retirement official.
To say Ive been blessed would be like calling Refrigerator Perry a bit overweight. The things I was allowed to experience, the people I was able to call friends, teammates, mentors, coaches and opponents, the travel, all of it, are far more than anything I ever thought possible in my lifetime.
Four World Series, three World Championships. That there are men with plaques in Cooperstown who never experienced one, and I was able to be on three teams over seven years that won it all is another beyond my wildest dreams set of memories Ill be allowed to take with me.
