Government shutdown be damned, Donald Trump is gonna tweet about his sports.
The United States President kicked things off Sunday night by congratulating the New England Patriots on reaching Super Bowl LIII. And Trump followed that up by randomly imploring baseball writers to vote Curt Schilling into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Take a look:
This is Schilling’s seventh year on the ballot, following a year in which he received votes from 51.2 percent of qualifying voters. A player must appear on 75 percent of ballots to earn enshrinement.
At this point, it seems unlikely that Schilling, a World Series hero for both the Arizona Diamondbacks and Boston Red Sox, will get the nod.
The 2019 Hall of Fame class will be announced Tuesday night at 6 p.m. ET.
