I don't know if I'd put Clemens on the Sox. His best years were with the Blue Jays and he won his world series with the Yankees. The astros years were the most likely to involve steroids as he was towards the end of his career and probably couldn't have played as well.


Well he only won 3 Cy Youngs, an MVP, and 192 games with the Sox (most all-time). And he was robbed of the 1990 Cy too. His largest body of work was with the Sox and it doesn't pale compared to his latter years either, which just happen to be more recently etched in our minds. That he hates the team these days doesn't change that. Neither does that he latched on with a better team and had a supremely talented cast around him to help net a World Series. I guess I could go either way on it for no other reason than that he's hard to like at this point but I do think it's a little silly to suggest he wasn't equally awesome from 84-96.

Well he certainly had one great year...

...and then finally blew a save in the playoffs.

Ok, I'm going to settle this for you guys...

Roger Clemens will be on the Texas Longhorns team. At Texas, he was a two-time All-American and helped the Horns win the 1983 College World Series. :mrgreen:
