Baseball Doesn't Exist·Sports & Sports AnalysisRoger Clemens gets angry sometimes
TL;DR
Roger Clemens was a ferociously competitive pitcher who intimidated batters, set strikeout records, and remains out of the Hall of Fame over steroid allegations.
Key Points
- 1.Clemens used intimidation as a core weapon. He would throw at batters' heads, scowl after giving up sacrifice flies, turn his hat backwards, and allegedly threaten an umpire's home address during a playoff ejection.
- 2.He struck out 20 batters in a single game. After facing his college teammate — and throwing near his face twice for fun — Clemens struck him out and proceeded to fan 19 more, the most strikeouts in a single game in MLB history.
- 3.Clemens is excluded from the Hall of Fame despite seven Cy Youngs, an MVP, seven ERA titles, and two World Series rings. The video frames the steroid-era accusations against him as unproven, calling him innocent while the broader league was allegedly 80% on performance-enhancing drugs.
