Names & Faces: Curt Schilling, Charles Barkley

The former major-league pitcher’s social-media comments cost him his job at ESPN, but apparently aren’t enough to keep him from considering a career in politics — including a White House bid in 2024.

In a weekend Facebook exchange reported by Yardbarker.com, Schilling wrote “I am going to run, soon” then, in response to a request for details, replied “state office first, white house in 8 years :” and then added “or 4 if by some amazing illegal event this country elects another clinton.”

Mark Twain is credited with saying “golf is a good walk ruined” and the Basketball Hall of Famer with the wretched swing seems to agree.
