| Quote: | COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) - The Hall of Fame now has the ultimate red sock to commemorate Boston's first World Series title in 86 years. Curt Schilling donated the bloody sock he wore during Game 2 of the World Series to the Hall of Fame on Thursday. The sock is part of a Red Sox exhibition celebrating the team's four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Schilling's sock joins other Red Sox memorabilia including Derek Lowe's jersey from Game 4, the bat used by Series MVP Manny Ramirez when he tied a postseason record with a 17-game hitting streak, and the spikes Keith Foulke wore when he recorded the final out of the Series.
The exhibit runs through the 2005 baseball season.
Schilling had surgery Nov. 9 to repair a ruptured tendon sheath on his right ankle. The injury appeared to end his season in the middle of Boston's World Series run, but team doctors, in an unprecedented procedure, made a wall of stitches in Schilling's ankle to keep the tendon in place.
Schilling, with blood seeping through his sock, won Game 6 in the AL championship series against the New York Yankees and Game 2 of the World Series.
The Red Sox had thought the surgery would keep their ace off the mound for Boston's opening day matchup against Randy Johnson and the Yankees, but Schilling told The Associated Press on Feb. 8 that pitching the opener was still his goal.
``I'm feeling very good about things now,'' he said.

Some dumbass reporter said that he put ketchup on his sock after the first time he pitched, (with the surgery).
