TEXAS - Roger Clemens has announced that he will come out of retirement! Again! Who will he pitch for, you ask? The better question is, who will he pitch to. And the answer is: his son, Koby Clemens, in the Texas League (AA minor leagues) home run derby next Wednesday. Koby is second in the league in home runs, and is in the midst of a breakout season in his young career.
Roger Clemens hasn't pitched since 2007, when he laced up his spikes for the Yankees, but rust shouldn't be a problem for the 47 year-old. He'll have to change his mental approach though - instead of trying to strike out his son, he'll be serving up 75 mph fastballs in the hope that young Koby (age 23) can clobber a few over the fences.
P.S. For Koby's sake, hopefully his dad helped him "workout" before the contest. And by "workout" I mean take steroids. Excuse me, allegedly take steroids. (Sorry, I couldn't resist).
