Still reeling from the collapse of his video game company, former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling will watch personal items, some sports memorabilia, and his house slip away.
Between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. this Saturday, there will be an estate sale of Schilling’s Medfield home, which the retired Sox-hero hopes will ease his financial trouble caused by his 38 Studios video game debacle.
The company, which the state of Rhode Island sank $75 million into, went belly-up and saddled the state with $90 million in debt. Schilling’s assets are helping to ease the state’s burden, after developers sued the pitcher-turned-businessman-now-ESPN-analyst.
If you’re thinking you can show up and find items such as Schilling’s immortalized bloody sock from the 2004 ALCS, I’m sorry to disappoint you. This won’t be the granddaddy of yard sales.
Items for sale from the seven-bedroom, 8,000 square-foot mansion, purchased in 2004 for $4.5 million from Drew Bledsoe include:
- A China cabinet;
- Large custom 13 foot dining table and 10 chairs;
- Tiffany and Waterford crystal pieces;
- Llardo figurines;
- Two matching custom sofas;
- Sofa tables; Kohler and Campbell baby grand piano;
- Pottery Barn dish set;
- Catnapper power lift chair;
- Pottery Barn bunk beds.
The home, itself, is valued at $3 million, located on more than 25-acres of land.
The bloody sock was already confiscated by Schilling from Cooperstown (home of baseball’s hall of fame) and sold to the highest bidder for $93,000.
ConsignWorks Inc. will run this Saturday’s estate sale.
