According to the Houston Chronicle and ESPN.com, in the wake of MLB releasing its “Mitchell Report”, the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association is deciding whether or not to allow former Yankees’ pitcher Roger Clemens to be its keynote speaker at its state convention next month.
The association’s officers spent the weekend reviewing the matter before concluding that Clemens, a 354-game winner over a major league career that began in 1984, “was an inappropriate influencer to baseball coaches and students alike.”
Clemens, who pitched for the University of Texas and came out of retirement after the 2003 season to pitch the next three seasons for the Houston Astros, was slated to be the convention’s keynote speaker on Jan. 12, with the topic being “my vigorous workout, how I played so long [in professional baseball],” according to the Chronicle.
I don’t think they need to remove Clemens as their keynote speaker. Instead, just change his topic from “my vigorous workout, how I played so long in professional baseball” to “my vigorous workout and butt loads of HGH, how I played so long in professional baseball.”
