Curt Schilling faked his pleas to stay in his Game 4 start in the 2001 World Series, according to his former catcher Damian Miller.

“Whatever happens, this is my last inning. Don’t let him put me back out there again,” Schilling told Miller, according to Joe Buck’s new book, “Lucky Bastard,” which will be released Nov. 15.

According to the book, obtained by Vice Sports, Miller passed the message on to manager Bob Brenly, who Schilling knew had a microphone attached to his uniform.

“He knew he would look better if he begged to keep pitching on national television,” Buck wrote. “So he asked Brenly to keep him in the game. … They both knew he was coming out.”

The Fox broadcast ran a clip of Schilling pleading to stay in the game.

“No no no,” Schilling, who was pitching on three days rest, said when told he would be lifted.

“We’ve got BK [Byung-Hyun Kim] locked and loaded for the last six outs,” Brenly told him.
