MLB: Clemens present at Astros’ Elite Camp

with 110% legal pharmaceutical grade preparation, as usual!

Roger Clemens’ son, Koby, doubted his dad would show up at the Astros’ Elite Camp this week, but on Wednesday, the Rocket emerged from the Astros’ dugout, ready to throw batting practice.

“I’m doing everything I love to do,” said Clemens, who has participated in the mini-camp as a coach for three straight years. “I’m not going anywhere. I love to do these things, and the Astros, and the other teams I’ve worked with, have always been very supportive—and if I can share some insight with the young kids at this level while they’re trying to reach their goals, reach their dreams, it’s all the better.”

...Clemens laughingly brushed off a question of whether he’ll pitch in ‘08. “I don’t know anything about that. I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that question,” he said, adding that he was looking forward to getting back on the mound—as a batting practice pitcher.

“I’m going to get out here and throw a little BP and hopefully sweat a little bit,” he said. “I’ll be ready to throw. I’ll dig down and get some will out there. It’s a little hard to do because whether there’s five kids or 20, you want to give each of them equal time. I pride myself on that.”
