Sixty Feet and Six Inches From Clemens

Everyone who cares at all about baseball had an opinion on Roger Clemens. Some saw him as a gun-for-hire headhunter, with little regard for the feelings or the safety of those around him. Some saw him as the definition of work ethic, a man whose competitive drive brought him to represent excellence. His involvement in controversial beanings; heat-of the moment bat throwings; both sides of Red Sox-Yankees rivalries; and tailor-made contracts to take him out of retirement; consistently made him a talking point amongst sports fans. No one, however, would refute that he was one of the best ever to have taken the mound.
