Curt Schilling says goodbye to Boston

BOSTON, MASS (WLNE) – Curt Schilling,  the one-time Red Sox hero said in an interview he will be leaving Boston.

Schilling told USA TODAY he’s leaving New England and moving to Tennesee “with people that are nice.”

Schilling helped the Red Sox win The World Series in 2004, and 2007, but lost a lot of fans after several controversial remarks and a failed video game company in Rhode Island.

The company, 38 Studios ended up costing taxpayers millions of dollars.

He recently hosted a charity hockey tournament to benefit AJ Quetta, the Bishop Feehan hockey player who was injured in a game and may not walk again.
