Move over, Jose Canseco.
Make way for Roger Clemens.
Of all the dramatic things we've seen this season, the controversial
50-year-old is leaving the courthouse and golf course to make a play for
a few more cheers while pitching in a minor-league baseball game in the
Houston area this Saturday night.
The news was first broken by Mark Berman of Houston's Fox 26 and he
reports that Clemens will start for the Sugar Land Skeeters of the
independent Atlantic League. Berman says that the team put Clemens
through a full workout and that his fastball was clocked at 87 mph.
Not bad for someone who spent the last few years dodging perjury charges
in federal court. And honestly, he probably can't do any worse than
Scott Kazmir, the former major leaguer who has posted an 0-5 record with
a 7.89 ERA for the Skeeters this season.
What's really crazy is that SB Nation's Rob Neyer says there's a rumor
that the Houston Astros might be staging a bake-off among the four
ex-MLBers on the Skeeters' roster — Clemens, Kazmir, Tim Redding and
Jason Lane (a former Astros outfielder turned pitcher) — and giving a
September start to whichever pitcher performs the best. That seems
absolutely ridiculous as new GM Jeff Luhnow is trying to change the
franchise's current culture (though with the Astros' current Triple-A
roster, perhaps it isn't).
