Before the season, Curt Schilling signed a 1-year $8 million contract with the Boston Red Sox and then the Red Sox found out he was hurt and probably wouldn’t pitch during the season. He did try to come back but ended up having surgery.
As they have done in the past, the Red Sox have brought out a mystery guest to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. And wouldn’t you guess it, it was Schilling who threw out the pitch before Game 5.
And as it turns out, this was the only “meaningful” pitch Schilling made this season, making it an $8 million first pitch. Or should I say, a first bounce.
