Newsday: Best: Suzyn Waldman on Roger Clemens, one year later

You mean it was a year ago already...that Waldman read for the lead in The Hazel Court Story?

Twelve months later, is Waldman shocked by what has unfolded in the life of Roger Clemens?

“Nothing shocks me anymore,” she said on a rare day off yesterday. “The only thing that has surprised me and disappointed me is the glee with which people are going after Roger.

“I think the more people accomplish, the bigger people are, the more excited people are to bring them down, and there’s a real feeding frenzy on this man.”

...Of course, Waldman is not as visible as Clemens, but last year, she absorbed criticism and ridicule both for her reaction to Clemens’ return and for shedding tears after Joe Torre’s final game.

“The only thing that surprises me about anything that happens is the glee with which people are dealing with this venom,” she said. “It surprised me last year when it happened to me.”
