He needs another 103Ks to get serious consideration for the Hall of Fame, but I'm glad that Schilling got to the 200 wins.
I remember when he came up with the Orioles when I was 8 years old :)
I remember when we used him as part of the trade for Mike Boddiker.
No HOF for him but no doubt he was one of the best of his era. Sort of like Jim Rice.
With this win, Schilling and Beckett are a combined 15-3 in 21 starts and Pap has 18 saves and a spiffy .136 BAA and the Red Sox have the best fielding percentage in all of baseball. That should make for an attractive circumstance for Clemens!

Not necessarily. Schill is 2-1 with a 2.11 ERA in games pitched in the World Series and has 3 WS championships. Give him a 4th ring and a good outing or two in the WS, and he would go in because he'd be considered a HOF "big game" pitcher. Just battling back from that surgery on his ankle (and pitching in the ALCS and the WS on that surgically repaired ankle, knowing he was jeopardizing his whole career) might be enough right now.
