Happy birthday, Roger Clemens

August 4, 2010

The now-questionable future Hall of Famer turns 48 today.

Books that were released early in Clemens’ career were pretty much all lauditory, including The Rocket: Baseball Legend Roger Clemens, Facing Clemens: Hitters on Confronting Baseball’s Most Intimidating Pitcher, and, of course, his “own” story, Rocket Man.

But those that came after his retirement take a dim look at Clemens, including The Rocket That Fell to Earth: Roger Clemens and the Rage for Baseball Immortality (read an excerpt here) and American Icon: The Fall of Roger Clemens and the Rise of Steroids in America’s Pastime (read an excerpt here).
