Wait, what?
No joke. If you go to my Plunge page, you'll see a donor listing for Curtis Schilling. I have no way of verifying that the veteran of 20 major league seasons and owner of 216 career wins (plus 11 more in the postseason) actually visited my blog and felt compelled to sponsor my dip in the Bay. After all, my readership tends to be in the dozens. But stranger things have happened. Consider the circumstantial evidence:
-Curt knows his way around a computer, and used to interact with Boston fans on the Sons of Sam Horn message board;
-Really, who would be bored enough to make a donation under a false name, thereby giving the credit to a famous athlete?
Of course, once it sunk in that Schilling may have found his way here, I had to take a hasty trip through my archives to make sure I hadn't taken any cheap shots at him in the past. But it looks like I've behaved myself. There were a few references to him having a big mouth, but I don't think it's the first time that anyone's said that.
Anyhow, Curt, if you're reading: thanks for stopping by, and thanks for your generosity.

If you've seen the ledger sheets for 38 Studios, you'd know that it probably wasn't really Curt...
Zach - You couldn't help yourself, could you?
Hey I love Curt, but given his financial situation, I'd actually hope he's saving his money!
But seriously, there is an outside chance that it was him. Usually when you donate money it asks for billing name and then you can donate under any name; but in your donation platform, it just asks for the name. Could've been him!
