re: #79 Dr. Matt

Curt Schilling was born in the deep in the heart of Dixie….Anchorage, Alaska.

Curtis Montague Schilling was born on November 14, 1966, in Anchorage, Alaska. His father, Cliff, served in the U.S. Army for the better part of his career and was stationed in Elmendorf Air Force Base at the time. When Curt was brought home from the hospital, there was a baseball glove in the crib that Cliff had placed there. The family moved to Kentucky, Illinois and Missouri before finally settling in Phoenix, Ariz. Curt’s father was a Pirates fan, and the first baseball game Curt ever attended was Roberto Clemente’s last. Curt also was a fan of power pitchers.
