MIAMI _ This is not meant to dilute the accomplishment or the strength needed to produce it. Curt Schilling has been amazing and worth our applause.
But pitching with a torn ankle tendon numbed by injection isn't quite the same as the following:
_Bobby Baun scoring the game-winning goal in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup while skating on a broken leg.
_Jack Youngblood dragging his team through the playoffs and into the Super Bowl as a linebacker with a broken leg.
_Emmitt Smith playing the most savage position in our most savage sport with a separated shoulder that made him cry at halftime.
_Willis Reed, period.
