Ex-pitcher Schilling might have to sell bloody sock after video game collapse
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling might have to sell the famed blood-stained sock he wore during the 2004 World Series to cover millions of dollars in loans he guaranteed to his failed video game company.
Schilling, whose Providence-based 38 Studios filed for bankruptcy in June, listed the sock as collateral to a bank in a September filing with the Massachusetts Secretary of State.
Schilling also listed a baseball hat said to have been worn by New York Yankees great Lou Gehrig and his collection of World War II memorabilia.
The Boston Globe first reported the filing Thursday.
38 Studios was lured to Rhode Island from Massachusetts with a US$75 million loan guarantee. The state is now likely responsible for some $100 million related to the deal, including interest.
