Curt Schilling's Pittsburgh Thing

The Boston Dirt Dogs published an email Q&A with the mighty Schilling:

The Pittsburgh thing

Curt can you explain to the folks your Pittsburgh sports history ties for the panicky Nation? And were you a Willie Stargell or Dave Parker guy?

CS: "My father was born and raised in Somerset, Pa. I was raised a Steeler and Pirate fan. My first and only ML game as a fan was Clemente's last game in 1971. Definitely a Stargell guy.

How cool would it be to see Curt Schilling pitching for the Pirates? It would be sweet to see him end his career with us.

P.S. Who could describe themselves as a Parker guy instead of a Stargell guy? Parker was good, but I don't see any statues of Dave Parker outside the stadium. It's like asking if you were an Al Oliver guy or a Roberto Clemente guy.

Thanks to reader AB for the link.
