I really do not like Clemens, but the fact that he came to Fenway to help honor Pesky made me respect him. That took guts

Guts and class. But some will never give credit where it is due. -

The Pesky tribute was very well done. Players past and present, with invited guests. All the present players wore their Sox Jerseys. Nice video tribute which ended with the all players signing Pesky pole.

I will give him credit where credit is deserved. And it was deserved in this case.

He's trying his best to get more people to like him.
He wants to get in the Hall of Fame.
I still despise him for the comment he made about Red Sox fans after the team won in 2004. Something about Sox fans being miserable all time and the championship would keep us happy for about 1 day. He could very easliy have said nothing , instead he took the opportunity to take a jab at the fans of a former team in a very unclassy way.

Intially, I was surprised he was there. I couldn't help but wonder if it was an attempt to get back into the publics good graces, rebuild his reputation and if he actually realizes he did anything wrong and what the perception of him really is

I do give him credit for showing up to honor Pesky, but not much else. I have to wonder if this was mostly a PR move on his part. I can't help believing that Clemens is always thinking first, last and foremost, of himself.

There's plenty of intelligence in Texas. But it's usually trumped by arrogance.

buddy holly was from texas; he was intelligent.i'm sure i'll think of someone else.
I didn't claim that there is little intellegence in Texas. You did. I'm willing to bet that Buddy had bit of that Texan arrogance working for him, though.

When Clemens came back to baseball after his "annual" retirement crapola in 2007 with the Yankees instead of the Red Sox he got on my s@@t list and never got off. He is a first class publicity hound and is always first and foremost always concerned about Roger Clemens. He pretty much told his family to stuff it when they wanted him to stay retired after the 2006 season and now we see he is thinking of coming back again. Good God, can't this bum realize that he has worn out his welcome mat in the game and that his lying and cheating is going to mar his reputation deep into the forseeable future. He's not getting into the Hall of Fame and I only wish he could wind up in the slammer because anyone with any kind of a brain knows he was a druggie who lied under oath to a Congressional Committee. The hell with him.

i'm still attempting to think of another intelligent life form from the lone star state.

I'll give him credit. It isn't always necessary to examine the motivations.
