""Great memories," Clemens said Friday at Polar Park. "For me, Boston being my home, getting drafted out of the University of Texas, winning the Eastern League... I thought it was amazing.""
""Both 20 strikeout games were really cool," Clemens recalled. "The first one that stands out, basically it was early in the year and I was proving to my teammates and to the ball club that I was healthy.""
""So I was able to get a lot of knowledge from him and he always stressed not to walk guys," Clemens explained. "I think I'm most proud about that. That's probably why I never threw a no-hitter.""
Roger Clemens attended WooSox Opening Day, reminiscing about the 40th anniversary of his 1986 season. He recalled his early experiences in Boston, including his first visit to Fenway Park. Clemens made history with a 20-strikeout game against the Seattle Mariners, the first in MLB history. He credited pitching coach Bill Fischer for emphasizing the importance of filling the strike zone and not walking batters, which contributed to his success and pride in his performance.
