Roger Clemens still hasn’t decided if he wants to come back and pitch yet this season he announced on Sunday. This is what he had to say,
“I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. I’ll make that decision when it comes. I’m in good shape, but I’m nowhere near baseball shape. Mentally, it’s going to be another challenge for me.”
The reason Clemens returned to the Astros last season was because of the many calls that he received from his teammates on the Astros.
“If somebody makes a phone call, and I think I can do it again physically, I probably could. The only reason why I’d continued to play was because of my teammates calling me.”
Well we all know that Andy Pettitte and other former teammates from the Yankees will be calling him to try and get him to come back to pitch. So this is what I propose. Besides the obligatory phone calls from John Henry, Tom Werner, and Theo Epstein, members of Red Sox Nation should start calling Clemens to show him he is wanted in Boston. After all, aren’t we members of the team if we are a part a Red Sox Nation?
