Trump Says Roger Clemens ‘Should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame NOW!’
The candidacy for the temple of renown of the Grand Roger Clemens of the MLB has just received a presidential approval.
“I played golf yesterday with the Grand Roger Clemens and his son, Kacy. Roger Clemens was easily one of the rare biggest launchers of all time, winning 354 games, the Cy Young Award seven times (a record, by many things!), And he played in six World Series, winning two! Bâton, and he should be in the baseball base room!
“People think he has taken drugs, but nothing has been proven. It was never tested positive, and Roger, from the start, completely denies it. He was just as big before these erroneous charges were launched to him.
Trump stressed that he did not want to see Clemens find himself in a situation like that of the MLB, King Pete Rose, who was reinstated after his death.
“It will be like Pete Rose where, after more than 4,000 strokes, they would not put him in the temple of renown until I speak to the commissioner, and he promised to do it, but it was essentially a promise not held because he only opened up, when Pete died and, even then, he said that Pete Rose was only in mixture,” Let’s not let this happen in the case of Roger Clemens.
Clemens has 354 MLB victories to his credit, and his 4,672 stick withdrawals are second.
However, what would generally be a file of realization of the renowned temple of the first balot of the first ballot was spoiled by allegations resulting from the name of Clemens mentioned in the Mitchell report, the 20 -month survey on steroid and human growth (HGH) abuses in the MLB released by former Democratic senator George J. Mitchell who was published in 2007.
In February 2008, Clemens appeared before the congress to try to empty his name. The appearance before the Chamber Committee on Surveillance and the Reformation of the Government gave mixed results in the field of public opinion and resulted in legal accusations against Clemens, which was charged, was charged by a great federal jury in Washington, DC, and accused of a chief of obstruction of the Congress, of three charges of false declarations and two perjure chiefs.
Clemens was acquitted of all accusations in 2012.
Although Trump was never convicted of having used steroids, Jeff Novitzky, a former investigator of the Bay Area laboratory cooperative hut (Balco) who also worked with the Mitchell report, remains convinced that Clemens used steroids.
“We had DNA evidence in the case of clemens, with the DNA of Clemens and an anabolic steroid in a needle that was used to inject it,” he said.
Clemens, which entered the admissibility to the temple of fame in 2013, never gained more than 65% of the votes during its ten years on the ballot.
