Schilling makes surprise appearance for Bush

Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling made a surprise appearance Monday morning with President Bush, limping to the stage to give Bush a strong endorsement.

Schilling won Game 2 of the World Series and Game 6 of the American League championship series with his ankle stitched to protect a torn sheath around a tendon. He was expected to undergo surgery this week, and had canceled an appearance with Bush on Friday.

CAMPAIGN RALLY

Red Sox leaders back Kerry in a triple-play appearance
By Patrick Healy, Globe Staff | November 1, 2004

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- He may have missed the Red Sox parade through the heart of his hometown, but Senator John F. Kerry savored a taste of that victory yesterday at a massive rally here with three team leaders, who each compared the last four years of the Bush White House to the last 86 -- until Wednesday night -- for Red Sox Nation.


"In January, New England won a Super Bowl; in October, New England won a World Series; and in November, New England's favorite son is going to win the presidency of the United States," said Red Sox co-owner John Henry, who was joined by partner Tom Werner and general manager Theo Epstein at the downtown event that drew an estimated 12,000 people.

...it was also Kerry's first real chance to mark the Red Sox win, and the team management provided a bit of a psychological boost after the brief furor Thursday morning when ace pitcher Curt Schilling endorsed President Bush during an interview on national television. (Schilling has recorded phone messages hailing Bush that will go out to voters.)

"When we were down three games in the playoffs against the New York Yankees, a lot of fair-weather fans were ready to throw in the towel -- but not John Kerry," Werner said. "Instead, on the day of the fourth game, he called us to say he was thinking of us, and he knew we were going to win."

During the rally, Kerry was clearly reveling in the enthusiasm of Sox fans, who erupted in cheers every time the speakers made a link between the team and the election.

"It's only been four years, but it sure feels like 86," Epstein said, as Kerry broke into a broad grin, standing at center stage.
