Curt Schilling Playing APBA

"Of all the people I grew up with. I would have to say that I was least surprised with Curt's success," says McConnell, who works as a computer programmer in Tempe. "He has this ability to focus obsessively on what he's doing. I remember a time when I went to his house and he was playing this APBA baseball game, which was a board game where each player had a card and you would role the dice to play. And he was sitting there, on his bed, completely surrounded with paper. He was playing a whole season, every game, and after every batter he would stop to write down what happened and kept his own statistics of every single player."
