 Curt Schilling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schilling was once again runner-up in Cy Young voting in 2004, this time to Minnesota Twins' Johan Santana who was the unanimous choice of the voters.
Schilling began his professional career as a prospect in the Boston farm system, but was traded to the Baltimore Orioles in 1988 for Mike Boddicker.
When Red Sox relief pitcher Scott Williamson began to experience arm pain mid-way through the 2004 season, Schilling reportedly told Williamson to stop "acting." Williamson then lost the remainder of the season to reconstructive arm surgery.

 SportingNews.com - Baseball : Time can't erase Mendoza Line
The original Mendoza Line traces back to Minnie Mendoza, a career minor-leaguer whose lone big-league experience was limited to 16 at-bats for the Minnesota Twins in 1970, when he hit.170.
Mendoza's dreadful 1979 stood as the most games played in a season while batting below.200 until Steve Jeltz beat it with Philadelphia in 1988, batting.187 in 148 games.
After retiring, Mendoza stayed in baseball as a minor-league manager in a variety of venues from Palm Springs and Lake Elsinore in the California League to Midland and Shreveport in the Texas League.

 The Japan Times Online
Various Central and Pacific League teams, including the Yomiuri Giants, played games in Kokura between 1979 and 1988, and the park was always a stop on postseason tours by visiting major league teams such as the Baltimore Orioles (1971), New York Mets (1974) and Cincinnati Reds (1978).
The kid, viewed as a possible major leaguer via the posting system as early as 2005, was being watched by scouts from at least three MLB teams: the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins, on that final holiday of Golden Week.
I checked with the Pacific League office and was told the June 2 game is the only one scheduled in your town this season, but they could not say if the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks or other teams will play one or more games there in 2005 and succeeding seasons.
