Mirabelli told Gary Thorne, the O's pbp guy. I have no clue who Merriman is.

see, if he were smart and wanted to fake it, he would've cut his ankle a little bit so that it'd bleed through for real. that's what i would've done anyway.

thus, i believe the blood is real blood, but the story may or may not be true.

curt shilling sucks, he's offering $1 to charity for some to test the blood on his sock

i just read that his sock is in the hall of fame, WTF, how does that make all the great ballplayers that never made the hall of fame feel

last time i checked, the point of the hall of fame was not to boost the esteem of past baseball players.

well how does a bloody sock get into the hall of fame, thats an insult to human beings

4/27/2007 1:13:35 PM

you know the hall of fame isn't just a list of players, right?

Curt just went out to the public and jestered $1 million to anyone that can prove it wasnt blood.

4/27/2007 1:48:00 PM

4/27/2007 2:00:11 PM

i'm telling you guys, he took a small knife, cut the skin on his ankle. boom, real blood.

4/27/2007 2:00:17 PM

Or it was blood seeping through his sock from the incision in his ankle where they sutured it? (lots of sp?)

Slow news day

I'm telling you guys, sutures bleed. Especially sutures put in place hours before the opening pitch.

Why are you so shocked it is at the HOF? Have you ever been to Cooperstown. They have artifacts from practically every big story in baseball history whether it be socks, batting gloves, uniform pants, batting helmets, etc, etc... That was one of the biggest stories of the last 25 years so it makes sense it is there.

The baseball HOF (and town of Cooperstown) is by far the best sports HOF in the world.

^^i believe you have made that point, stop crying about a piece of baseball history being in the hall of fame

i mean, if you want, we can take out all the other inanimate objects too, like all the bats that hit famous homeruns and balls that were hit
