Pitching through pain. Curt Schilling has torn the sheath surrounding his achilles tendon and has undergone a one-of-a-kind procedure that actually SEWS his tendon to his skin to hold it in place while he is pitching. The alternative would be to let it free as normal and have the tendon sliding over the bone (which, from personal experience, would actually cause shredding of the tendon and many more complicated problems).
Whichever way this series goes, I have to say I'll be happy. It's been a great second season!

Aside from his dedication to his team, I have great admiration for Curt Schilling for the man that he is. He loves his family, he supports great causes financially and with his time, and is a true patriot.
