Schilling, rising like a rebuilt pitching robot, walked to the Yankee Stadium mound for Game 6. He permitted just one run in seven innings, silencing New York studs like Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Gary Sheffield and Hideki Matsui. It was a masterful job--and a heroic one, with TV cameras focused on the blood seeping through his sock. It was so gory, it might have been an episode of CSI: Curt Schilling's Incision.
