Why does Roger Clemens gets "Teflon Jordan" status, when other great players are getting thrown under the bus?
Question:Clemens, Bonds, Maddux, McGwire, Glavine, Sosa, Smoltz,Palmero?
All great players, but only the pitchers will make it into the Hall... is it so crazy to think that Roger could fall under the HGH or steroid era as a pitcher. He ure looks alot bigger than his days in Boston. I wish baseball would just let them play, who cares if they are juicing...players have always done things to gte an edge, it is the nature of the sport. whether you are stealing signs, or using a spit ball, cheating is cheating, and is apart of baseball.

How do I get a pro scout to come to my softball league in Whitfield, AL?
i agree. i mean we are talking about a PITCHER in his mid 40's still throwing with out any problems? cooooooooooooome on noooooooooow. i seriously doubt he's doing it naturally. or has done it naturally. and pitching oh so many days IS IRRELEVANT...guy still puts major strain on a 40 year old plus arm.fact people just need to let them play and stop trying to police something for the sake of espn's want to make it news.
Who is the best bench player on your favorite team?
U are right the people in charge are jusr making much to do about nothing. SPitballs,corked bats, stealing signs all are cheating. Roger Clemons gets a pass because he is their Golden Boy like Mark MCGwire was until he made them look like idiots. He retired when the stuff he was using was put on a banned list and left 36 mil on the table. Clemens is a lot bigger than he was at Texas or Boston in his earlier days.If Bonds or anyone else pulled the stuff clemons has with retiring over and over they would Lynch him. They say it is a book showing how and when bonds use the juice , i can write a book detailing how i think bush had somehting to do with 911 does not mean it is true. Clemens is in the same steroid era as every one else.Red Sox fans? Do you want to call Dice-K a bust now or wait until the end of the year?
Uh---- Ever heard of a guy named Nolan Ryan? Pitchers not great in their 40's? Guess what? Looking at Clemens is enough evidence that he's NOT juicing. He's a genius. He knows he's too old to go a whole season. So- he sits out and offers his service to a contender at or near the All Star break. NYY just happened to be in dire need earlier than that so they made him the offer.How many no hitters will King Felix throw in his career? How about perfect games?
I do not know why you think a pitcher cannot throw like this in his mid-40's. Ever hear of Nolan Ryan? He threw even harder at an older age.Now, take a look at Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine.
Can anyone look at those bodies and think that they have taken steroids? How can you compare what they have done to the pharmeceutical phenoms like Bonds, McGwire & Sosa?
That said, I do not think that any of these players should be banned from election to the Hall of Fame, even if they did take supplements that made them bigger & stronger. If it was not against the rules of the game then it was within the rules of the game.
