There’s no disputing that Roger Clemens lives, breathes, and eats baseball. The 49-year-old pitcher is rumored to make a comeback in Puerto Rico. According to Puerto Rico’s El Nuevo Dia newspaper, Clemens “wants to pitch” for team Indios de Mayaguez, the same club that his son Koby is playing for this winter. Clemens threw a bullpen session. However a source claimed that “it’s pure gossip” that the Clemens will pitch for the team.
Yet another report in the Nuevo Dia quoted an unnamed Indios team member saying the Rocket “wants to pitch, that’s 100% sure. I saw his desire to compete again. He was (at) the practice and said he wanted to play with his son.”
A photo of the Rocket wearing an Indios jersey ran with the report.
Clemens last pitched in 2007 with the New York Yankees. He is scheduled to go on trial in April for the second time on charges that he lied to Congress about using performance-enhancing drugs.
