Clemens minor league tune-up

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- As Roger Clemens began to scuttle a bit in his minor-league tuneup, his son Koby went to the mound with some inspiration.
One more strikeout, Koby told him, and the 9,222 fans in attendance Tuesday night would get a free gallon of windshield wiper fluid. It worked as Clemens struck out the next two. "He's a funny guy, isn't he?" the future Hall of Famer said of his son.

Hey, so the man got to play with Koby after all...at least in the minors...bet those fans are happy with their ...never mind...The Rocket is back...good attendance draw too.

Yeah, almost 10k for a minor league game is pretty impressive. The closest club around here, in Washington Pa., I has only ever drawn half that on their best day. Rocket looks good, it would seem. He must've been keeping himself in shape during the layoff.

Maybe he really knew he only has 2/3 of a season in the tank...he is a workout animal though from what I have read.

Re: Clemens minor league tune-up

He is pretty well in shape for someone of his age. I am sure that his ability and stamina cannot compare to Randy Johnson's. That really is the big difference between the two phenomenons.
