HIS TEAMMATES KID HIM about the Scooby Doo boxers and the Scooby Doo stuffed doll he places above his locker, but there's no joking about Curt Schilling's accomplishments this year.

Through August 26, he was leading the majors in victories at 21-4, was second behind Arizona Diamondbacks teammate Randy Johnson for the most strikeouts (259) and had the National League's fifth-best earned-run average at 2.68. Last August 16 at Wrigley Field, Schilling became the first 20-game winner of the 2002 season. He was scheduled to get eight more starts after that, putting him on pace to win 25 or more games--a total only ten pitchers have matched in the last 35 years.
