HOUSTON--Boston Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens was found innocent yesterday of a misdemeanor charge stemming from an alleged barroom brawl with an off-duty officer.
Clemens started fast, winning his first six decisions, but had a 3-5 slump after that and was 11-5 at the All-Star break. He was 4-0 in September before losing two October starts.
"Last year, I felt I had one of my best years, but 27 wins was an awful lot to try and top," Clemens said.
Clemens is the first AL starter to win the Cy Young without at least 20 victories since Pete Vuckovich of Milwaukee in 1982 (18-6). He is the first with 10 or more losses since LaMarr Hoyt of the Chicago White Sox in 1983 (24-10).
Clemens got a $100,000 bonus added to his $2.5 million salary for winning the award
