His acquittal is all the proof anyone needs that there is a difference between a legal verdict of "not guilty" and actual condition of being "innocent". I think the theory that he is angling to reset the clock on his HOF eligibility so as to not appear for the first time along side Bonds, Sosa, and Piazza, plus push his final ballot appearance out to 20 years into the future is likely the actual motive here.

I'm sure he had plenty of time between 2007 and now to take a shot or two on the mound to see if he could still compete.

Sorry, but I'm not going to be convinced that Roger's decision was purely made just because he loves the game.

As to his past few months, YES, he's been trying to get back into shape for exactly this - it's been on the news repeatedly in Houston.

There most certainly IS a big difference between actually being innocent and not being proved guilty. When his whole case rested on the credibility of McNamee, making 12 people have "reasonable doubt" in McNamee's truthfulness is not even close to those same people actually believing Clemens was innocent. But, apart from the rules of criminal court, the preponderance of evidence (the standard in civil court) would certainly point toward Clemen's guilt, IMO.
