PHILADELPHIA -- Former Phillies pitcher Curt Schilling fell short on Wednesday in his quest to be elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
He received votes on 52.3 percent of the 440 ballots cast by qualified members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, short of the 75 percent needed for election. Schilling pitched for the Phillies from 1992-2000, helping them win the 1993 National League pennant. The Phillies inducted Schilling onto their Wall of Fame in 2013.
