Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Author Paul Hagen tells the story of how Curt Schilling of the Philadelphia Phillies developed into one of baseball's best pitchers. His success did not come easy, as he had to deal with off-the-field problems and being traded several times. As Hagen writes, Schilling turned his once difficult life as a professional athlete into league-leading strikeout totals, All-Star Game appearances, and the chance to pitch for the Phillies in the World Series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very impressive reading!, January 9, 2000
Some times the size of a book is deceiving, case in point Curt Schilling: Phillie Phire. Eighty-two pages give a world of information on one of today's premier pitchers in major league baseball.

Take a trip with Paul Hagan as he explores the life and baseball time of Curt Schilling, from the years in Alaska to Class A ball in Greensboro, North Carolina to his near career ending shoulder injury.

What we read in the papers and hear in the news about Curt Schilling can't even begin to scratch the surface what this book to the readers. This book in number 17 in the baseball superstar collection.

, here's a perfect gift for young ballplayer in your life. I was also amazed to find out how much time and effort Curt has spent working for a cure for ALS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Curt Schilling in the Hot Seat, July 29, 2000
By A Customer
Curt Schilling is a GREAT PITCHER. It is nice to see that he is also such a giving person. I did not realize he donates money each game to the Lou Gehrig's Foundation. I would like to be a pitcher someday too, and follow in his footsteps.
