Guys
Since this is a sports forum I thought I would share my Roger Clemens story...I was having a discussion with family and friends last night and we were thinking back to the old days.
It was around 1993 when I went to a Pawtucket Red Sox game...to see my then hero at the time Mr. Roger Clemens pitching for them
I had tickets right behind the Pawtucket dugout..and there is a slim alley way where the players walk by down below, right in front of you...
The thing to do there is to lower a bucket with string with the ball and pen in it, so that the player can sign the ball and then you raise the bucket back up
It was way before gametime and I had a ball signed by a few of the other players, and I was anxiously waiting for Roger...I was in my teens at the time...a huge baseball fan, and an even bigger Rocket fan...
There he is, Roger...walking down the alley...I scream down Rocket, Rocket..He looks up, we make eye contact...I say Rocket can I get your autograph dude (hey I was younger) and he snidely brushes against the bucket, knocking the ball out and he continues to walk by....Some older gent yells down dont be an asshole Clemens and he looks back and slightly gives the finger down by his side back at us...
You were always an asshole back in the day to your fans, and you were well known for being an arrogant prick...I hope you never win another World Series....and I hope you get arthritis in your hand, and can never sign another contract again you asshole
