Curt Schilling

No. Schilling is still pitching for the Boston Red Sox and doing it quite well. During spring training, he was campaigning for a contract extension, not the U.S. Senate, so it looks like his political ambitions are on hold. Schilling is a Republican living in Massachusetts, a heavily Democratic state, but his bloody sock World Series heroics would probably compensate for his party affiliation (at least in the eyes of Red Sox Nation, which is larger than either of the political parties).
Curt Schilling played for five Major League Baseball teams during his career: the Baltimore Orioles, the Houston Astros, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Boston Red Sox. He is best known for his time with the Diamondbacks and the Red Sox, where he achieved significant success, including winning three World Series championships.

In 2004, he had to have stiches put on his ankle. He still pitched, but somehow the stiches opened up, causing blood to turn the sock red.
