BOSTON -- Red Sox fans will never see Curt Schilling in pinstripes -- at least not while on the mound.

The rehabbing Red Sox pitcher responded Tuesday to comments made by his personal doctor, who said Schilling recently told him he would consider pitching for the Yankees.

Schilling set the record straight on WEEI radio.

"Me wearing pinstripes, regardless of what point of the season or my career it would have been, is not an option," Schilling said on WEEI.

Schilling went on to say that he's surprised at how well his rehab is going. He said he's made incredible gains in strength and that the biggest surprise is that he has no pain at all.
