Schilling subpoena approved, might not be served

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- A subpoena was approved Monday compelling former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling to appear before a committee probing Rhode Island's $75 million deal with his failed video game company. But the subpoena is not enforceable outside the state, and Schilling lives in neighboring Massachusetts, so it's unclear whether he will ever be served with it.

Rhode Island House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello signed the subpoena after the House Oversight Committee asked him to issue it.

"We will use the legal tools at our disposal to serve the subpoena, realizing that all processes have their limitations," Mattiello said in a statement.
