Sure, his contract with the Yankees -- which included a bazillion dollars, spectacular perks, Hummers, hovercrafts and a secret base on the moon -- seemed a tad excessive. But never let it be said that Roger Clemens doesn't give a little something back.
This piece from yesterday's New York Times tells us that when the Rocket arrived back in the Apple, he had a little sumthin' for all his fellow Yanks:
When Roger Clemens joined the Yankees last month, he gave T-shirts to his new teammates. On the front is Clemens's Rocket Man logo, and on the back, in bold letters, is a personal slogan: Tough All Day.
As someone who's seen grown men get into fist fights during T-shirt night at the local tavern, I'll never be one to underestimate the allure of the free T. But that's kinda like your rich Uncle Fred showing up at Christmas with a sack of T-shirts for the whole family -- T-shirts with his face on them, no less.
Of course, it could have been a rhinestone jacket. So perhaps it's not so bad after all.
