One of the best pitchers in Arizona Diamondbacks history now faces his toughest challenge yet.
Curt Schilling, who was with the Diamondbacks from 2000 to 2003, was diagnosed with cancer.
The news was reported by ESPN.com, whom Schilling, now 47, works for as an analyst.
“I’ve always believed life is about embracing the gifts and rising up to meet the challenges,” Schilling said in a statement released by ESPN. “We’ve been presented with another challenge, as I’ve recently been diagnosed with cancer.”
