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.
