What a great game! Unreal. History in the making!
For those that watched the game, I'm sure you saw them do a closeup on Curt's ankle time and time again to what looked like a bloody sock.
Well, during the game I definately didn't think it was a bloody sock. Its just a dislocated tendon as a result of a broken sheath. There's no blood in that. That can't be blood.
I was wrong.
Those of us that have been closely following Schilling are aware that Reebok custom made a High Top shoe with a built in brace to support the tendon. Curt wasn't happy with the high top, so they elected to have minor surgery on his ankle!
"With the help of the Boston team doctors, Schilling underwent a unique suturing process on Monday in which the skin around the dislocated tendon was cut and stitched tighter"
How crazy is that! Considering how dominating this guy pitched, this is truly a moment that will fall into the history of the Sox-Yankees Rivalry.
