Come to think of it, their regular season numbers weren’t too dissimilar either. In 2001, Clemens received more than six runs per game from his mates, helping him to an impressive 20-3 record. Abbott, meanwhile, received seven-plus runs per game in 2001, lifting him to a similarly remarkable 17-4 mark...
