to tell the truth, I'd be more excited if the girl from the supermarket played than curt schilling =P
At least she's workin for her money right now...:smileytongue:
That's cold. 
To be honest, it's probably harder for him to be injured than to be playing right now. I know when I was unable to play a sport due to injury it was a lot more difficult than actually being in the game (hockey and football. I didn't play baseball after elementary school). Then again, he gets to play EQII while he is injured, so that's always a plus. 
Before this thread, I wouldn't have known Curt Schilling from Mavis Bluebutt from Alaska - I'm a Brit in England and we don't have Baseball here, we have a game called rounders that's played by girls!
However, I can appreciate what this might mean to some people; it would be like me finding out that Frank Lampard played EQ2 on my server (Frank Lampard is a midfielder for my favourite football team, Chelsea FC, for those who don't know 
).
I read through the interviews that Curt agreed to do on the websites mentioned and he comes across as a really nice guy, not only passionate about his sport, but also passionate about this game that we are also all passionate about (otherwise we wouldn't play it, right?!). Knowing that he is a celebrity that shares a common interest with me, DOES make it feel good - even if I don't know him. Others get a thrill from knowing that a famous sci-fi author also plays the game (Salvatore?).
Basically, what I'm saying is that there is no need to attempt to 'Diss' people because they are excited or moved by the fact that they share a common interest with a personal hero or idol. I'm sure that if Miral or Strazz discovered that Curt SChilling was a member of their guild in EQ2, then they would be letting people know at every opportunity!
