MEDFIELD, MA—Criticizing the Baseball Writers’ Association of America for factoring social justice into their decision-making process, retired pitcher Curt Schilling insisted Wednesday that he’d already be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame if the MLB had never racially integrated. “I wish the media would put their liberal bias aside and look at the numbers I put up in the era of Black players,” said Schilling, who claimed that his Hall-of-Fame case had been negatively affected by his outspoken views, including those on the “sanctity” of pre-integration baseball. “It’s sad to see Cooperstown become yet another beloved American institution that’s been crushed by the left. The MLB has made it clear that they want nothing to do with white players like me, so I’d rather they just take my name off the ballot entirely. I’m sure they’ll be happy to roll out the red carpet for undeserving players who fit their identity politics like Derek Jeter.” At press time, Schilling slammed the Boston Red Sox, his former team, for “caving to the woke mob” when they became the last franchise to integrate in 1959.\n

Fuck you Shilling! There are many now that know exactly where you are every minute

Dude, I don’t like his politics either but what he did in the field deserved it.

I like the Onion and they’re funny as F but i think they should stay away from jokes like this. Right now we have a habit in this country of slapping the racist tag on people for the littlest things. These days it’s a serious accusation and can ruin peoples lives.We need to chill

I know you don’t care, but I lost all respect for you the second that you put a towel over you head when Mitch walked to the mound. A Hall of Famer would not act in such a way!

This is exactly the way he thinks!

Out of the whole group of people that didn't make the Hall I believe there was one dick head wasn't it. Oh wait.... That was you wasn't it Curt Schilling

I love that whole group of people that didn't make the Hall there was one real big dick head who was that? Oh wait that was you

It’s kinda scary when you can’t tell if this is something he actually said or truly satire.

🤣😂😅😂🤣😂😅🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️👏👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽👏🏼👏🏽

😳😂

IkeyAzar 🤣

At this point I’m convinced that the Onion is sticking to satire that parallels real life far more closely sue to it being infinitely more entertaining, if not a little unnerving.

BradleyWhitford Unbelievable. I hope he never gets in....

I am in awe of whoever came up with this one.

CardJunk Somebody should ask him about Kingdoms of Analure: Wreckoning

Oops, just realized this was The Onion...never good when you actually question it!

So goddamned savage

It looks like he’s saying “grrrrr”.

BradleyWhitford Who!!!

I seriously read the headline and legit thought this was real. Then I saw “Onion,” and I was like, “So, he didn’t say this out loud...🤔.”

camp_jk

BradleyWhitford And another reason not to vote him in

Oh, it’s the Onion...

Is he HOF material? I looked at his stats last night and outside of some moments for the Phillies and Red Sox, his stats are on par with retire the jersey but not HOF.

tfox1127

LMAO yo I hope none of you are taking this serious. This is The Onion that this came from. They never tell the truth on things.

JeffSchultzATL Why didn't he say this to black players while he was in the league to their faces?

sadye_s

Ha. He's such a douche

MikeMiss25 Love the Onion...

BizballMaury did you write this? Lol

BradleyWhitford I hope this keeps him out of the Hall for good. I’m born and raised in St. Louis. I’ll take HOF Bob Gibson over this jerk any day. Not to mention Lou Brock, Ozzie Smith, etc. And Musial is rolling over in his grave at this remark.

BradleyWhitford From the minds of my fellow Badgers (in 1988) came forth The Onion. The world has been made a bit funnier since. And almost always with a kernel (or more) of truth.

BradleyWhitford Say what?

BradleyWhitford What a whack job !

is this guy a scumbag?

thephilsfan I just can't. Go away Shilling

Underrated

I knew he was trash when he called DeionSanders a glorified flag football player about 20 years ago. Never met anyone who likes Schilling.

ZaxxonGalaxian This is great

BradleyWhitford The man is an ass

The once he may not be wrong

What a Feller

lol

Wouldn't even need the fake bloody sock

When did The Onion start publishing actual news?

Sounds about right!

The first non-satire Onion post I've read

He’s probably thought that too so jokes on you

I thought the onion was parody

lmfao

Could legitimately be an actual thing he said

Annnnnnd? Want a “white guys hall of fame”?

I thought The Onion was supposed to be satire? gehrig38

Whatever you do, don't bring up the bloody sock...he'll blame racial integration for that too

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

😂

That’s awful!

I'd be pretty good at sports too if everybody else would gtf off the field and lemme hack some sack in peace.

Barry Bonds said he'd already be a Hall of Famer if no one had invented photography to compare his before and after.

This is the way
