Roger Clemens remembers the electricity in the air when then-President George W. Bush stepped onto the mound at Yankee Stadium wearing a bulletproof vest to fire a perfect strike in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Clemens, the retired Yankee pitching legend, spoke about his role in the new Fox Nation special, 'Never Forget: How Baseball Helped New York Heal,' and how America’s favorite pastime helped the nation overcome tragedy. 'He came out with a bulletproof vest on, threw a perfect strike. That stadium lit up,' Clemens said Friday on 'America’s Newsroom.' 'Made you very, very proud to be an American. Let me tell you,' he added. TRUMP BACKS CLEMENS’ HALL OF FAME BID, REJECTING BANNED-SUBSTANCE ALLEGATIONS TIED TO MLB’S STEROID ERA This year marks the 25th anniversary of the terror attacks that changed the country forever, killing nearly 3,000 people and thousands more from health issues caused by exposure to toxic dust and debris at Ground Zero. Clemens met with victims’ families in the aftermath, describing their stories as a 'punch in the gut.' 'When you meet the kids that lost their mom or dad, I can relate a little bit, I lost my dad when I was very young, but nothing compared to what happened in New York City then,' he said. TUNNEL TO TOWERS ANNOUNCES STEEL ACROSS AMERICA TOUR TO MARK 25 YEARS SINCE 9/11 ATTACKS Clemens described the uncertainty that gripped the country after the attacks, and the debate over whether the baseball season should continue after such a tremendous loss. FOX NATION REVEALS THE SCANDALS AND SECRETS OF AMERICA’S FIRST PRESIDENTS IN ‘THE WHITE HOUSE’ 'Once we were told we were play, we really embraced it and really tried to get out in front of it, give the fans, give the people in New York that lost loved ones maybe three hours of coming to the ball game and just getting away,' he added. When the season resumed in New York City, Bush’s 'perfect strike' became a symbol of national defiance. Clemens recalled how the entire crowd lit up as a wave of patriotism swept through the stadium.
