Daily News | Roger Clemens throws batting practice before Phillies game against Dodgers
will be in Oakland facing the A’s on Father’s Day weekend, and his father, Roger, will be on the road for a business trip, so they decided to come up with a creative solution to celebrate it.
“I think Schwarber wanted to make it happen so he could take me deep, and he did,” Roger said. “He was talking the whole time. He sounded like a horse jockey. He was talking the whole time I was throwing. I had to throw him one splitter to get him off from hitting another homer.” It had been a while since Clemens had pitched in Philadelphia. Because he primarily pitched in the American League, he didn’t face theat Veterans Stadium when he was pitching for the Red Sox, Yankees, and Blue Jays. But he did get his chance to pitch at Citizens Bank Park when he pitched for the Astros from 2004-06. The Astros were in the National League team back then, and he pitched in Philadelphia twice over that span.
