Incentive for Roger Clemens to return
13 January 2006 :: By Mark Bodenrader
At 41 years old, Roger Clemens can still pitch. Last season for Houston, he led the major leagues in ERA (1.87) and finished third in the NL Cy Young voting.
But Clemens is now without a team after the Astros, Roger’s hometown team, refused to offer him arbitration. Given “The Rocket“‘s age and high salary demands, many teams are hesitant to sign the righthander, so Houston remains a possibility, albeit a remote one.
Enter rapper Paul Wall via MTV News.
Houston’s Paul Wall is such a sports fanatic that he says if Roger Clemens signs back with the Houston Astros, he’ll give his kid the middle name of Roger.
The ball’s in your court, Clemens.
Knowing “Almighty Dollar” Roger, he’d probably charge Paul for using his name.

That’s so weak. That would only be newsworthy if he volunteered the middle name “rocket”.
