Former Major League Baseball pitcher Roger Clemens is"honored" by the encouragement to run for Congress, but he has ruled it out -- blaming the"climate in politics."
A spokesperson for Olson declined to comment on the race or share a copy of the congressman's initial correspondence to Clemens. So far, only one Republican candidate, Brazoria County Judge Greg Hill, has announced his intention to run for Olson's seat, though additional candidates are expected to emerge in the coming months, sources said.
A Clemens spokesperson also told ABC News that he's had an extensive travel schedule this summer, filled with charity and celebrity appearances.
