Super happy that David Ortiz made it. His achievements and clutch performances were legendary. He no doubt deserves it. Nothing more to say.
But, the Red Sox would probably not have made it to the World Series if it wasn't for Curt Schilling's heroics in the "Bloody Sock Game" Game 6 vs. the Yankees which was such a monumental crazy game (A-Rod's childish swatting of the ball and interference call, the unknowns of Schillings ankle repair, the Yankee fans throwing stuff on the field and the Red Sox seeking shelter in the dugout, the riot police lining the foul lines) . . . the rivalry at it's best.

So Schilling who definitely deserves the same honor will not make it because of his politics. That is just wrong . . . period!
