The Painted Sock?

Former Mets broadcaster, Gary Thorne, who currently works for the Orioles, said on air that Curt Schilling's famous bloody sock from the 2004 postseason was a PR stunt. And the redness on the sock was paint, not blood.

Gary Thorne: "It was painted. Doug Mirabelli confessed up to it after. It was all for PR."

Doug Mirabelli: "I never said that. I know it was blood. Everybody knows it was blood."

The Hall of Fame has the sock from the World Series says Schilling delivered it himself and they think it's real because the stain is now brown, as blood stains normally change color over time.
