Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling told the Boston Globe that he had a heart attack in 2011.

The Red Sox pitcher, known for his bloody sock while on the mound in the 2004 playoffs, said he had the heart attack while he was watching his wife run in the New York City marathon. The couple flew back to Boston, where Schilling went to a hospital.

"I got lucky," Schilling said. "I wasn't taking care of myself."

Schilling has been faced with a great deal of stress since his multimillion dollar video game company tanked, costing him and Rhode Island taxpayers millions of dollars. After taking a $75 million loan from the state, the company went bankrupt and he reportedly lost up to $50 million of his own money.

Schilling found himself in the middle of a financial crisis and was forced to sell the historical bloody sock. He sold the sock for $92,612.50 but told the Boston Globe that he "sold all that stuff to pay the banks back for the note, instead of filing bankruptcy and keeping it all, I sold it all. It sucks."

"Outside of, like, personal family -- losing my dad -- it was the most devastating thing I've ever gone through," he says, "and it's still something I'm trying to bounce back from. It was so hard because I pushed and pushed and pushed. I had 300 families [of company employees] I had to take care of, including my own, and it failed."

Schilling has remained quiet on social media since the story broke. An active Twitter user, Schilling's latest tweets are unrelated to his heart attack or financial woes. He told the Globe that he regrets saying anything about the heart attack since he knew that it would be in the news.

Schilling is now an analyst for ESPN and also coaches a 16-and-under fast-pitch softball team called the Mass Drifters.
