Roger Clemens Home Quotations

I've been very fortunate. I feel very thankful. I've been able to come home and do some fun things and make it exciting for people here at home

I didn't want to come home to wave and tip my cap and just be there,

I was just sitting back and letting him enjoy it over there, ... I mean, what else can you do? It was a very hittable pitch. Guys on this level, whether they're 21 or 41, are going to hit that. And he took advantage of it. I've given up some home runs, I'm sure, in my career. But it was probably pretty exciting for that kid.

I worry more about the man's health than I do about him hitting home runs or whatever this witch hunt we're on.

Ever since I've come home to pitch my job has been more than just about pitching. But I still recognize that's the most important thing, to go out there and win.

Teams were playing us tough anyway, but maybe more so after we got back in the race. The guys persevered, and this makes that trip back home a whole lot easier.

Then when the conversation is over and you walk away and you get home that night or you had dinner after you had the chance to meet him and talked to him, it's something that you never forget.

I'm going to kick back and watch some baseball. I'm not ready to commit. Even being at home and pitching in Houston was a tough grind. ... Right now, I'm not interested in getting in there and locking in on this. If it works out and I can just fade away, that's what's going to happen.

It's pretty simple, the way I look at it. I became a Hall of Famer here (in New York), with my numbers here and what I've done here, and hopefully three-hundred will be another big part of that. When (former Red Sox general manager Dan) Duquette said that I was done, if I'd have taken his advice and went home, I wouldn't have been a Hall of Famer. So it's a no-brainer. It's definitely pretty easy. Reggie (Jackson) spent five years here, and this will be five for me.
