So, Red Sox pitching ace and conservative lightning rod Curt Schilling wants to run against polarizing progressive rock thrower U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren?

I say pass the popcorn.

The 2018 Senate showdown would feature two of the Bay State’s most controversial, divisive figures and would likely draw national media attention eager for another celebrity Republican campaign — especially against a far-left star like Warren.

The faceoff could be a win-win for the diametrically opposed Bay Staters.

Schilling, who has railed against President Obama, also hinted last week on his Facebook page that he might be looking to run for president as soon as 2020.

“I’ve never been one to sit around and talk about getting stuff done without trying to help,” Schilling said about his reasons for throwing his hat in the ring.

ESPN fired Schilling in April from his position as an analyst because of a controversial Facebook post on a North Carolina bill preventing transgender people from using the bathroom of their choice.

The outspoken pitcher has already indicated that, like GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, he plans to make Warren’s Native American heritage claims an issue, calling Warren “a woman who’s clearly and comfortably milked the system.”

Schilling’s appeal as the beloved pitcher who helped deliver Red Sox Nation its first World Series in 86 years could also override tough questions about his bankrupted gaming startup in Rhode Island.

Meanwhile Warren, who has lost prominence since Trump has been ignoring her attacks, would have another conservative boogeyman to rail against. Schilling’s well-documented social media outburst on guns and transgender people would give the senator plenty of chances to play to her progressive base.

But Schilling should have no illusions about the incredible obstacles facing him in a campaign against Warren. Despite statewide Republican wins by Gov. Charlie Baker in 2014 and former U.S. Sen Scott Brown in 2010, Massachusetts is not only a famously Democratic state but Warren fans across the nation would likely send in the cavalry to prevent her ouster.

One thing is clear — Schilling’s tendency for fiery social media rants combined with Warren’s already tart Twitter tirades mean that the media will likely be the biggest winners of a showdown between Schilling and Warren.
