Sock update: Hall of Fame says it's real blood

And they know, according to the Associated Press, because the color of the sock that's displayed in the Hall of Fame, from Game 2 of the 2004 World Series, is now brown, a natural discoloration of blood over time.

Hall of Fame spokesman Jeff Idelson said he has “no idea” where Schilling's bloody sock from the ALCS is being kept, but is confident that the second bloody sock, which Schilling delivered to Cooperstown himself, is authentic.

“We have no reason to doubt Curt, who has a profound respect for the history of the game and is cognizant of his role as a history maker,” Idelson said. He added, “The stain on the sock is now brown, which is what happens to blood over time.”
