The Roger Clemens Family Traveling Show was in Lexington, Kentucky last night as the Rocket pitched three innings of a minor league game in preparation for returning to the Stros’ rotation later this month. It will likely be the only game that Clemens pitches in this season that also features a wiper fluid promotion and a milking contest involving a ceramic cow.
By the way, Clemens’ son, who plays third base for Lexington, has coined a new nickname for his father — “Bernie Mac,” the name of the actor who stars in the forgettable 2004 movie Mr. 3000, about a washed-up ballplayer who comes out of retirement to collect one last hit.
