With football season over, it has occurred to me that I haven't posted a sports-related blog in a long while, so here goes:
Am I the only one who thinks it's unusual that (according to USA TODAY) Roger Clemens threw at his own son?
"I figured I'd get strike one on the kid with a fastball, 92, 93 mph, and he runs into it," Clemens says. "So, of course, I was a little pissed. I said, 'OK, if that's the way it's going to be.' So next time up, I went in on him.
"Says umpiring supervisor Steve Palermo: 'When I umped, we used to always joke that Roger was so competitive that he'd knock down his own mom. Well, we now know that he'll at least knock down a family member.'"
...Note to self: Don't crowd the plate. Roger owns it.
