One week from today will be the 14th anniversary of
The Great Thanksgiving Summit that brought
Curt Schilling to Boston. On November 27, 2003
Theo Epstein travelled to Schilling's Paradise Valley, Arizona home to share drumsticks, stuffing, cranberry sauce and dreams of glory with the pitcher's family. Talk about your bold negotiating gambit! Well, it worked. Schilling donned
Carmine Hose for the 2004 season—and, well, you know what happened after that. Come to think of it, November 27th should be an
official Red Sox holiday—a day we burn incense to Theo from morning 'til night.
