... the Schillings and the Red Sox are such a perfect fit. There is no other place in baseball where you can have as great of an impact on a franchise, as great an impact on a region, as great an impact on baseball history, as you can in Boston. It is hard to describe what the Red Sox mean to New England. The players who help deliver a title to Red Sox Nation will never be forgotten, [their] place in baseball history forever secure.-- Larry Luchhino and Theo Epstein to Curt and Shonda Schilling, 2003 ...

Without a doubt, Curt Schilling is gone

Breaking up can be hard to do. There's the angry breakup, the devastating breakup, the sad breakup. And then there's the kind of breakup where both parties walk away with class, admitting things just aren't going to work out anymore. That appears to be what we're witnessing unfold with the Boston Red Sox and Curt Schilling, who shared on his blog today the letter Theo Epstein and Co. sent him in 2003 while recruiting him to Boston. The introduction: Dear Curt and Shonda: Usually the day before Thanksgiving is reserved for family and friends, for cleaning and cooking, ...
38 Pitches: Schilling: 2003 Sox opening letter.
Published 11/2/2007 at BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog
38 Pitches: Schilling: 2003 Sox opening letter. Now, this is one fascinating letter...not quite as fascinating as the letter my parents received from Darren McGavin for me being named after him...but that’s for another time. Here is the letter that arrived at our home a few hours prior to Theo, Jed and Larry opening up negotiations. Theo said he didn’t have a problem with it being published and I think it’s a pretty significant look into how the ownership and baseball operations people here in Boston do business. ...Imagine how different Red Sox history might have been had ...

... At his blog 38 Pitches, the free agent Curt Schilling publishes the letter that Theo Epstein & Co. sent to the Schillings in advance of their now-famous Thanksgiving dinner/pow-wow that eventually led to Schilling waiving that no-trade clause that allowed him to pass from the Diamondbacks to the Red Sox. The letter serves as an interesting window into the courtship that would follow and a union that would eventually help lead the Sox to their first World Series title in more than 85 years.

... and nice as anyone I've ever met. One of my real pleasures in life is the ability to rag him about the fact that he wears a 10 5/8 hat, or something close to it. Good pitching coach, better person. Speaking of Curt Schilling , he continues to post over at 38pitches.com very openly and honestly about going through the free agency process. I'm hoping (cross fingers, toes and every other available appendage) that the Farrell news also bodes well for a Curt re-signing. Curt also today posted the opening letter he received in 2003 from the Sox . Not only is it hopefully a ...

... But he did post a fascinating item from the last time he changed teams: a letter sent to Schiling and his wife by Red Sox GM Theo Epstein and club president Larry Lucchino in November 2003. It's really a masterpiece of flattery and argument both, and it's cooler for the fact that, strictly speaking, it wasn't needed; the executives were already on their way to the Schillings' Arizona home where they were set to make their offer. ...

... day 2003, and Theo Epstein, among other Red Sox brass, had traveled to Arizona to feast with the Schillings and to convince Curt that Boston was the right place for him. Boston and Arizona had already agreed on the principles of the trade - Arizona would receive left handed pitcher Casey Fossum and righty Brandon Lyon - but the Red Sox had a short window to work out a contract extension with Schilling or else the deal would die. As documented in a very interesting post on Mr. Schilling’s personal blog, negotiations were very intense, and Epstein and Schilling both ...
