Who he is: After Curt Schilling ignited his latest round of Twitter controversy last week, thoughts drifted to another pitcher from his era who has yet to sign up for the service. Statistically, Schilling and Mike Mussina rate similarly, two of the best pitchers not in the Hall of Fame, though the two diverge sharply in personality.
