The truth comes out. The famous Schilling bloody Sox sox was painted red for public relations reasons.
Little kids are crying today all over New England.

Mirabelli adamantly denies ever making such a comment. The surgeon who performed the procedure on Schill says it was blood. Even Kevin Millar, who now plays for Balitimore, says it was blood. The curiator of the Baseball Hall of Fame, where the sock now resides, says that the stain has faded to a brownish color with some pink tints. That would happen with blood, but not with paint.
Nobody in New England is crying about this. The likeliest answer would seem to be that Mirabelli was kidding around with Thorne, and Thorne didn't get the joke. But Mirabelli denies ever saying
anything about it to Thorne -- even as a joke -- and got visibly upset when addressing the media about it. So why would Thorne throw it out there? Wierd.
