Schilling reaches 200 and Boston fans are amazing

My wife and I attended the Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Devil Rays game at Fenway Park last night.

It turned out to be Curt Schilling's 200th victory.

Now I'm a Philadelphia Phillies fan having grown up near Philly during their heyday in the early 1980s, but even I was moved when the fans stood and cheered for 15 minutes after the game. They shouted "We want Curt!" until Schilling came back out of the locker room and doffed his cap to the crowd. Most sentimental baseball moment for me since Tug McGraw jumped straight into the air after the last out of the 1980 World Series.
