"  Former Boston Red Sox pitcher and MLB legend Curt Schilling showed his seriously protective side this past weekend in a passionate blog post defending his daughter, Gabby Schilling. The high school senior began receiving aggressive, sexually explicit comments Sunday afternoon after Schilling sent her a congratulatory message via Twitter. RELATED: This Great Dad Went to Beauty School for His Little Girl The tweet was in celebration of Gabby&amp;#039;s acceptance to Salve Regina, where the 17-year-old was selected to pitch for the university&amp;#039;s softball team. But what was at first a happy occasion quickly took a turn in the opposite direction when several male Twitter users began flooding the Schilling family&amp;#039;s newsfeed with repulsive and offensive comments about Gabby. The baseball legend/superdad then took to his personal blog to call out the trolls who were responsible, writing:  Now let me emphasize again. I was a jock my whole life. I played sports my whole life. Baseball since I was 5 until I retired at 41. I know clubhouses. I lived in a dorm. I get it. Guys will be guys. Guys will say dumb crap, often. But I can&amp;#039;t ever remember, drunk, in a clubhouse, with best friends, with anyone, ever speaking like this to someone\u2026 Following this paragraph, he included screenshots of many of the ugly comments and suggested that his readers seek out the &amp;quot;men&amp;quot; sending these messages and give them a piece of their minds. The post ends with a thoughtful aside to his daughter that any man (or woman) could take a lesson from:  P.S. Gabby I know you&amp;#039;re likely embarrassed and for that I apologize. But as we have talked about, there is no situation ever in your life, where it&amp;#039;s OK for any &amp;#039;man&amp;#039; to talk about you, or any other woman this way (and truth be told no real man would ever talk this way anyway). It truly is time this stopped. I don&amp;#039;t know where it started because it sure as hell didn&amp;#039;t happen much when we were growing up. Like any dad reading this the only thing I need you to leave this home with when you head to college is the knowledge that I love you more than life itself and there is NOTHING I would not do to protect you. And while it may sound corny, it&amp;#039;s nothing I&amp;#039;d ever be shy about saying in public, ever.   Schilling shared a link to his blog in a later tweet, including the words: &amp;quot;There are repercussions to your actions in the real world.&amp;quot; This tweet has been shared on Twitter over 500 times. And lo and behold, as a result of the post, two men are already facing some real-life consequences. According to The Blaze, Sean MacDonald, a ticket seller for the New York Yankees, was fired from his position. A spokesperson for the team told the site that they have &amp;quot;zero tolerance for anything like this.&amp;quot; Additionally, Adam Nagel, a student at Brookdale College in New Jersey, was kicked out of his fraternity and suspended from the school pending a police investigation.
