Alla andra vet säkert det här redan, men jag upptäckte precis att en av killarna bakom MMP, Curt Schilling, är en professionell baseballspelare.  :shock:

Skummar man lite bland bilderna på konventsbesökare i USA är elitidrott inte det första jag tänker på...  :P
En mycket bitter liten man.

Curt Schilling är en av tidernas bästa pitcher t om. Det var hans kast som vann både för Red Sox och Arizona Diamond Backs när det begav sig.

Han är schysst också. Bjöd på middag på ASLOK 98 (eller 99).  :D

Hittade precis hans web-logg också: http://38pitches.com/

Från wikipedia:

Schilling formed a deep-rooted interest in the board wargame Advanced Squad Leader.

    ASL has become his constant companion on road trips, and every National League city is now his playground for baseball at night and ASL in the day. (All of which has become a bonanza for ASL players of his acquaintance, who are sometimes Curt's guests at stadiums around the country.)[33]

Schilling's disappointment at not being able to attend the ASL Oktoberfest (an annual game convention) led him to create his own, The ASL Open, which debuted the weekend of January 15, 1993 in Houston, Texas. The Open was financed out of his own pocket. Schilling also started his own amateur publication entitled Fire for Effect, a bi-monthly featuring "some of the ASL hobby's best writers".[34]

When his favorite game was sold along with Avalon Hill to Hasbro, Schilling founded the small gaming company Multi-Man Publishing to maintain ASL and other Avalon Hill titles. He also started a new, professional publication entitled ASL Journal and contributed articles, editorials, and game scenarios.

Schilling also plays EverQuest and EverQuest II, and has reviewed two of the game's many expansion packs for PC Gamer magazine. In 2006 Schilling created 38 Studios (originally named Green Monster Games).
