NY Daily News: Roger Clemens had fling with country star Mindy McCready that started when she was 15
Posted on April 28th, 2008 – 10:31 AMBy Michael Rand
As Stu noted with his comment link in the last post, the NY Daily News dropped quite the story about Roger Clemens. According to several sources, the paper reports, Clemens had a 10-year affair. And, well, it gets worse from there. From the Daily News:
Roger Clemens carried on a decade-long affair with country star Mindy McCready, a romance that began when McCready was a 15-year-old aspiring singer performing in a karaoke bar and Clemens was a 28-year-old Red Sox ace and married father of two, several sources have told the Daily News. … Contacted by the Daily News Sunday through his lawyer Rusty Hardin, Clemens confirmed a long-term relationship but denied that it was of a sexual nature. “He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her,” Hardin said. “He’s considered her a close family friend. … He has never had a sexual relationship with her.” Hardin said the Rocket’s wife, Debbie, knew McCready and that the singer had traveled on his plane. …
According to sources, Clemens was with his Red Sox teammates in a Fort Myers, Fla., bar when then-teenager McCready caught his eye. After Clemens threw a shirt with his and several teammates’ signatures onstage, an introduction was made. “It was love at first sight, no doubt about it,” said a source with intimate knowledge of the relationship. According to the source, McCready did not learn that Clemens was married to Debbie Clemens until McCready attended a baseball game with her two younger brothers and read Clemens’ bio in the program. The source says that McCready was too young to be angered by the news that Clemens was taken.
Wow. Just wow. The only good news is that with baseball likely out of the picture for Clemens, he can now focus on taking over the David Wooderson character in the yet-to-be-greenlighted sequel to Dazed and Confused.

I’m sure Brian McNamee saved some evidence from the encounters. If he can save syringes for 5 years I’m sure he has a couple of 15 year old condoms along with a bottle of Boone’s Farm that the love birds drank out of.
What’s the big deal?
Is Mindy a boy?
Coulda been you, Mylee Cyrus…
Were the Olsen Twins unavailable?
As the self-appointed country music correspondant to RandBall, here are some quick facts, and one lie, about Mindy McCready. As you can see, she is quickly checking off the boxes required to be a country music superstar:
- She is addicted to OxyContin.
- She has been convicted of stealing a truck.
- She attempted suicide by drug overdose.
- She wore a Mark Chamura jersey to her confirmation party.
- She has been arrested for punching her mother.
You can’t fool me, Clarence. Everyone knows she wore the Chmura party to her bat mitzvah.
s/b Chmura “jersey.” Gah! So many jokes that I’m rushing them. Slow down, Stu, stay within yourself, let the commenting come to you.

I can honestly say that those words never come to mind when I’m commenting. It’s not obvious is it?
I just consulted the liner notes of her 2nd CD (how’d that get in my collection?) and she does thank Roger (to be fair, it doesn’t say for playing pitcher to her catcher). Clues to the puzzle…
She didn’t thank “Roger and his ‘Rocket’”? That’s a shame.
I’d give anything for Mark Chmura to have been a University of Texas alum/booster, like Wooderson and Clemens. (Sadly - Boston College.)
Clarence
You forgot to include the fact that she overdosed while pregnant. Was there a baby Rocket in the oven?
AZGG: What does it say exactly in the liner notes?
This is really creepy to say the least. At least Roger didn’t go this route.

Dang - false alarm. About 80% down the list in her thank-yous, it reads:
“To the Cain family, Christopher, Sharon, Roger, Kelly, Krisinda and Tracy.”
Upon further review in Wiki, it appears the Roger listed may be part of the Cain family. Roger is the brother of Dean Cain, who Mindy thanks last as “the love of my life.” I initially read it to mean the Cain family and all these other random people, including her secret man candy. Sorry.
Jama-
She overdosed whilst pregnant with another country music singer’s kid. If I remember correctly he also beat her and choked her while she was pregnant.
Regardless of the drugs and domestic abuse, she had the baby and it was born healthy. That Cribsheet blog is full of {redacted}, man.

I’m pretty sure that was just one of her songs, Clarence.
Stu: + whatever it takes to get COW at the start of the week…
Good memory, Stu. Who could forget her smash country hit: “I Took the Last OxyContin Pill, So He Pushed My Pregnant Ass Down the Stairs.”
“I’ll punch you in the ovaries, right in the babymaker.”
I Took the Last OxyContin Pill (So He Pushed My Pregnant Ass Down the Stairs)
Fixed.
I never understood that song. Trailer homes usually don’t have stairs.
Sure they do. They have two or three wooden stairs right out the front door. How do I know? My grandpa lived in one for a few years.
I wrote a country song about it.
Grandpa’s lot has one tree (and Daddy backed into it)
RandBall is on the home page? What’s the over/under on time before it gets out of hand here? I’m going to set it at 12:35 p.m.
“She overdosed whilst pregnant with another country music singer’s kid. If I remember correctly he also beat her and choked her while she was pregnant.”
And somewhere in Nashville George Jones is wondering what all the fuss was about how he treated Tammy Wynette.
“Dazed and Confused Pt.2″
Wooderson: I love them pill poppers.
Rob Lowe says ” did he video tape it?”
“where does this white chick live?”
Roger is correct in saying that they didn’t {redacted}. No, they made Looooooove…
Just looked at her Wikipedia page. She and I were born on the exact same date, November 30, 1975.
It’s making me reevaluate my life. I haven’t been accused of nearly as many crimes as her. I’ve only punched my mom a handful of times. I’ve got some work to do.

Funny because it is true. Remember that, Steve?
Hillbilly hattrick.
My Momma Cracked Wise (So I Cracked Her Jaw)
I think Steve MN could be the topic of a whole country album…
Do you think if you play her music backward, she’ll get Roger back?
So, we have a white-trash aspiring singer on stage at a Florida bar at 15, and the groupie Clemens throws a jersey at her. Just unfortunate. Clemens could have taken her V-card if he’d gotten there four years earlier.
4 years earlier he wasn’t juicing yet, so they probably didn’t have the same drug dealer yet.
Good point. It was really love at first syringe.
Just wondering if Britney or Paris showed up to either do a 3 way or run the cam.
I love this quote from Mike Barnicle of the Boston Globe. “If Clemens had not once been able to consistently throw a baseball 95 miles per hour past men with bats in their hands, he would be wearing bib overalls and sitting on a milk crate at the open end of a trailer somewhere, brushing his tooth, while shooing away flies from his head. The man is a complete dope.”
