March 1985 was a long time ago. At that time, nobody knew who Oliver North, Cory Aquino, or Roger Clemens were.
People got Red Sox stationery, Roger Clemens "K"-cards, schedules, applications for media guides and video yearbooks.
"I've got a lot of work to do to get ready for next year," said Clemens, who added that he had something else to look forward to before spring training--becoming a father. "The baby's due within another seven to 10 days," he said.
Clemens, a No. 1 draft pick who signed a couple of weeks after he pitched Texas to the College World Series championship in 1983, silenced many critics who believe that the MVP award should go to an everyday player rather than a pitcher.
"There were several outstanding pitchers in the league this year, but only one Roger Clemens," the Boston manager, John McNamara, said.
