Curt Schilling announced today he will be going under the knife and will shut down his 20th season in Major League Baseball.
Schilling will have surgery on his ailing shoulder Monday ending his season and possibly his career as he told ESPN.com.
Schilling will have the operation after a rehabilitation program preferred by the team failed to fix the tendon injury that sparked a spring training dispute between doctors about how to treat it.
"My season is over and there is a pretty decent chance I have thrown my last pitch forever," Schilling said Friday on WEEI radio in Boston.
Schilling has been out since the start of spring training. His physician, Craig Morgan, confirmed to The Associated Press that he will do the surgery Monday in Wilmington, Del.
Through 20 years Schilling has gone 216-146 with a .597 winning percentage and a career strikeout total of 3116.Does Schilling get into the Hall of Fame as a first time ballot? Or Second Ballot? Or does he even get into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown?
