[goodtricks]

Any guesses where this one will end up?

Can someone clarify this for me? The listing refers to the bloody sock worn by Schilling in game 2 of the World Series, but the "bloody sock" game was game 6 against the Yankees. So this is a different sock?

Different sock. There were two socks. Schilling threw away the first sock from the game against the Yankees.

This is referenced in the write up.

Wow this guy is dumb. First he throws away a valuable SOCK, then goes bankrupt starting a video game company. Now he has to sell what I would imagine is one of his most cherished possessions.

I would hope that a sock doesn't rank very far up his list of "most cherished possessions", especially since it is not "the" sock.

This isn't even the real bloody sock. When you think of Curt and his bloody sock, it's the game against the yankees not the world series. I think it would be funny to test his blood for steroids.

Well, I said one of in front of most.

This Sock is symbolic, not just of the playoff series, but of his colossal effort. It shows his BLOOD, sweat and tears. A tangible item representing his past feat. I'm sure if he wasn't in financial trouble it would still be in his possession.

Yeah, he doesn't sound too bright, but he's got Lenny Dykstra beat. At least Curt isn't headed to prison.
