Remember the “Bloody Sock Game,” the all-time performance at Yankee Stadium by Curt Schilling in Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS, which propelled the Red Sox to victory, and eventually, their first World Series title in 86 years?

Well, those memories may have to suffice.

Prior to Sunday night’s Yankees-Red Sox game on ESPN, the network replayed its “Four Days in October” documentary — looking back at Boston’s unprecedented comeback — but omitted Schilling’s performance and the entire Game 6.

Schilling was fired by ESPN last month after multiple offensive posts on social media, and the feud has only escalated since.

Shortly after the airing, the former ace learned about the editing done by his former employer:

Wow, full one year complete fabrication to defame greatest QB, now omitting about 4 hours of a game I think I played in. Hmm #integritymuch?

ESPN later released a statement, claiming a softball game that ran long forced them to make a cut.

“When a live event runs long, it’s standard procedure to shorten a taped program that follows,” the statement said. “In this case, we needed to edit out one of the film’s four segments to account for the extra length of the softball game.”

Schilling wasn’t buying that it was a simple coincidence.
