Roger Clemens. I want him to be innocent so bad, he is a legend, he is a hero. Seven Cy Young Awards, over 350 wins, and... Steroids?
The Rocket came from humble upbringings, you know how your grandfather walked uphill to school both ways? Well in high school, Roger ran 2 miles to school and back every day, no lie. His father passed away when he was 9 years old and he was raised by his mother and his grandmother. His mother worked 3 jobs, but couldn't afford to send any of her children to college. The Rocket found the answer, Baseball. Our American past time. It's what every little boy dreams of.
Money, fame, a model wife, and great kids, he has it all. Well, except that Brian McNamee and Congress want to taint his record with HGH and Steroid allegations. It's what keeps BIg Mac McGuire out of the Hall of Fame and so many others. Will it keep one of the best pitchers of all time out too?
I can complain about the fact that Mitchell, whom prepared the Mitchell Report, is a Director on the Board of the Boston Redsox. I can point to the coincidence that so many key Yankee players were named, while David Ortiz, or any other player who contributed to the 2 Boston Redsox World Series Championship's were not named. I can go on and on, but in the end, did the Rocket use steroids?
A few Congressman have pointed out the evidence against Clemens is extremely weak. I sure hope they are right.
The hearings have convinced me of two things, McNamee is a scumbag and Congress has no place in baseball.
