Schilling Talks about His Blog
We noted a while back that Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling has started blogging. Now one of my favorite baseball writers, SI.com’s Alex Belth, interviews Schilling about the experience.
Schilling talks about interacting with baseball fans:
Fans in Boston want to know why I threw a slider 2-0, or they want to know the difference between my fastball and my change-up. They are smart as hell, and for me that’s fun.
Schilling also points out what I think is going to be huge down the line — the way his blogging allows him to remove any filters between himself and the public:
I did a blog a couple of days ago and basically explained my contract situation. Yesterday, there was an article written by John Tomase in The Boston Herald. The article is, John introduces my blog, quotes my blog and then finishes the article. I just did an interview without having to deal with the media. I wasn’t edited, I wasn’t clipped. It was what I said, how I said it.
In other words, we’re now getting Schilling’s words as opposed to some individual’s interpretation of his words. That is both very exciting and a little scary. Mostly exciting, though.
Kudos again to Schilling for doing the blog thing and to Belth (a very respected blogger in his own right) for talking to him about it.
