World Series

He has won World Series championships in 2001 with the Arizona Diamondbacks and in 2004 and 2007 with the Red Sox, and is widely regarded as one of the best postseason pitchers in baseball history with an 11-2 record.

Junior College years

Schilling graduated from Shadow Mountain High School in Phoenix, Arizona in 1985. He spent his youth in Phoenix, Arizona and attended Shadow Mountain High School before attending Yavapai Community College in Prescott, Arizona. He helped lead his baseball team to the 1985 Junior College World Series.

Career

Early MLB career (1988-1992)

He began his professional career as a prospect in the Boston farm system, but was traded to the Baltimore Orioles in 1988 for Mike Boddicker. His major league debut was with the Orioles (1988-1990), and he then spent one year with the Houston Astros (1991).

Phillies career (1992-2000)

Schilling was one of the key factors in the Phillies' pennant run in 1993. In that year, Schilling went 16-7 with a 4.02 ERA and 186 strikeouts. Schilling led the Phillies to an upset against the two-time defending National League champion Atlanta Braves in the National League Championship Series. Although he received no decisions during his two appearances in the six game series, Schilling's 1.69 ERA and 19 strikeouts were enough to earn him the 1993 NLCS Most Valuable Player Award. The Phillies went on to face the defending World Champion Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. After losing Game 1, he pitched brilliantly in his next start. With the Phillies facing elimination the day after losing a bizarre 15-14 contest at home in Veterans Stadium, Schilling pitched a five-hit shutout that the Phillies won 2-0.

The Phillies slipped into mediocrity in the years after that, despite Schilling being the ace of the staff. He recovered from arm problems to strike out more than 300 batters in 1997, and 1998. He soon began voicing his displeasure with Phillies management, claiming they were not doing enough to build a winning team. He eventually requested a trade.

Diamondback career (2000-2003)

He was traded mid-season to the Diamondbacks in 2000. With Arizona, he went 22-6 with a 2.98 ERA in 2001 and went 4-0 with a 1.12 ERA in the playoffs. In the 2001 World Series the Diamondbacks beat the New York Yankees in seven games. Schilling shared the 2001 World Series MVP Award with teammate Randy Johnson. He and Johnson also shared Sports Illustrated magazine's 2001 "Sportsmen of the Year" award. In 2002, he went 23-7 with a 3.23 ERA. Both years he finished second in the Cy Young Award voting to Johnson.
