Clemens during his heyday with Boston
Roger Clemens is returning to baseball, fresh off his acquittal on federal charges of lying to Congress about alleged steroid use. Clemens, who is 50, has signed a contract with the Sugar Land Skeeters, a Texas-based franchise in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. The deal was announced by Houston station Fox 26. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner has not pitched professionally since Game 3 of the 2007 American League Championship Series. Fox 26 reports Clemens will pitch for the Skeeters this Saturday night.
