The president took to Twitter to make a case that Schilling should be among those inducted Tuesday. Donald Trump took a few minutes Sunday night amid the government shutdown to work on a pressing matter: boosting the Hall of Fame chances for pitching great Curt Schilling. Curt Schilling deserves to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. To get into the Hall of Fame, Schilling will need to be named on 75 percent of all ballots. According to the Baseball Hall of Fame Tracker, Schilling is polling at around 71 percent of all the publicly released ballots and needs 162 more votes to make it.
