Roger Clemens pitches Saturday
For the Sugarland Skeeters.
Anyone know if this would move off his "retirement" such that it changes his 1st year of HOF eligibility?

Baseballhall.org says "Player shall have ceased to be an active player in the Major Leagues at least five (5) calendar years preceding the election but may be otherwise connected with baseball."
I'm pretty sure the Skeeters are not considered to be in the Major Leagues. |

Can't blame him for trying. And as bad as the Astros are this year, they really have nothing to lose. The real question is whether or not they would welcome Clemens to the team if it's obvious why he wants to pitch again. And if they agree, I can already hear Bud Selig and company...

Is Geritol considered a PED these days?

Good for Clemens. If he still wants to play baseball, and he's useful to someone, let him do it. Life is a verb. Time doesn't go backwards. He might regret not trying.

The beauty about umpiring is getting to talk to the old scouts that pop up around from time to time. They know the real thing when they see it.

I agree with this...if he wants to play and someone is willing to have him on their team, then good for him and he shouldn't stop playing unless it's on his terms or no one wants to take him anymore.

The timing of it all just doesn't give me the impression that he's doing this for love of the game. Sounds like it's more for love of Roger.

I hope the liars get kept out of the HOF for many years to come.

This might be the dumbest thing I've read in weeks. You are aware that he's been a little busy these past 4 years?
