Schilling will expand his role at WEEI

WEEI said that Curt Schilling, a baseball pitcher known locally for Red Sox heroics, will be expanding his relationship with the local sports radio station.

"Schilling (right) will join Glenn Ordway and the crew on The Big Show on a regular basis," WEEI said in a press release. "Schilling, who is also a regular contributor to WEEI.com, will be a guest during the show on Thursdays, beginning Jan. 22, 2009. He’ll be in studio once each month, joining the cast for the entire four-hour show. On the other three Thursdays, he'll be calling into either The Big Show or the Dennis & Callahan Morning Show for a 20- to 30-minute segment."

The release added: "Schilling’s new on-air gig is a further expansion of his role with the WEEI Sports Radio Network. In November of 2008, he began a weekly writing stint on WEEI.com, now home of his popular blog, 38pitches.com. In addition to his writing for WEEI.com, Schilling will also participate in live game-day blogging for six Red Sox games during the 2009 season."
