Former pitcher Curt Schilling was one proud papa on Twitter on Wednesday. The ex-Boston Red Sox player, who’s currently at spring training in Fort Meyers, Fla., took to the social media platform to congratulate his daughter Gabby who will advance her softball career by becoming a pitcher for the Salve Regina University Seahawks.
Awww. Except that warm and fuzzy feeling wouldn’t last for long. See, Ms. Schilling is quite fetching, so when the boys of Salve Regina heard about the coed’s impending enrollment via her dad, things went awry in that Schilling may or may not have threatened to murder every single person who tried to virtually hit on Ms. Schilling via Twitter. He’s got friends in special forces, guys.
The tweets began after he made the announcement on Wednesday and continued into Thursday morning.
It’s likely there’s no real reason to worry. Schilling is acting just like any other stereotypical overprotective dad in the world. It’s just that most other stereotypical overprotective dads don’t spend so much time on Twitter.
