Curt Schilling: Hardcore Gamer

This morning I asked Curt Schilling—winner of three World Series, two-time co-Sportsman of the Year, the Man with the Bloody Sock—how much time he spent playing video games when he was a professional baseball player:

“Twenty hours a week?”

“Way more than that.”

“Thirty?”

“More.”

“Forty?”

“Something like that.”

Awesome!

I love this kind of stereotype-destroying stuff.  Like how Jack Kerouac was a high school football star, etc.
