Curt Schilling retires from baseball, but is ready to play and build video games
Curt Schilling said today he’s retiring from Major League Baseball with four World Series and three World Championships under his belt. Baseball’s loss is gaming’s gain. Schilling is the founder and chairman of 38 Studios , a startup creating a massively multiplayer online role-playing game code-named Copernicus.
He last pitched a game in 2007. Over his lifetime, the 42-year-old Schilling had a win-loss record of 216-146. He scored 3,116 strikeouts. He helped the Boston Red Sox score a World Series victory. Now we’ll measure his victories in terms of registered users and whether or not his next-generation fantasy game can outdo World of Warcraft, which has about 12 million monthly paying subscribers.
Schilling will be speaking at VentureBeat’s GamesBeat 09 tomorrow in a fireside chat with Adam Sessler, co-host of G4TV’s X-Play video game cable TV show.
