Over the course of 24 seasons spanning from 1984-2007, Roger Clemens established himself as one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball history. He has won 7 Cy Young Awards, more than any other pitcher in history. His career numbers are comparable with the greatest pitchers ever to take the mound: 354-184 W-L record, 3.12 ERA, and 4,672 SO.
Clemens pitched his final Major League game in 2007. Since then, he has been accused of steroid use and adultery throughout his playing career, which he has always denied. In August, he pleaded not guilty to a federal grand jury on six felony counts involving perjury. His trial will be April 2011.
Clemens’ son Koby Clemens plays AA ball in the Houston Astros organization.
