\nCRAIG, Colo. — Houston Astros pitcher Roger Clemens was asked to leave a youth baseball game over the weekend for arguing a close call that went against his son’s team.
\nClemens was at the game Saturday watching his son, Kacy, compete in a 10-and-under game organized by Triple Crown Sports when Clemens contested a call at second base that went against the Katy Cowboys.
\nHe spit sunflower seeds at an umpire’s leg and was asked to leave, said Jim Carpenter, a field supervisor with Triple Crown.
\n“I supported the umpire’s decision and he (Clemens) respectfully left,” Carpenter told the Craig Daily Press.
\nKaty lost the game to the Bakersfield Curve, 11-5.
\nTriple Crown Sports features a franchise system aimed at pitting top teams from across the country against each other.
\nClemens’ agent, Randall Hendricks, did not immediately return a call today. Clemens has racked up 322 wins and 4,240 strikeouts in his 21-year major league career.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
