Roger Clemens ending his holdout with the Boston Red Sox was the biggest sports story of the weekend on all of the major networks. And every one mentioned that the tall right-hander was scheduled to make his first appearance that afternoon. Against Harvard University.
The Crimson didn't do much at the plate against Clemens. In fact, it did virtually nothing. But then again, neither did most of the teams in the American League last year.
Stanley, primarily a reliever throughout his career, started in place of Roger Clemens, who ended a 29-day holdout last weekend, and Dennis Boyd and Bruce Hurst, who are both nursing injuries.
Once again Clemens is a question mark, this time because he walked out in a salary war and missed 29 days of training before returning on Saturday and pitching six hitless innings against Harvard's baseball team.
In 1986, Clemens got off to an amazing 14-0 start en route to leading the major leagues with a 24-4 record. a feat no pitcher can be expected to duplicate.
