How often has this happened?

"Roger Clemens' son took the Rocket deep on his first real pitch of spring training, crushing a trademark fastball over the left-field fence."

You know it had to be a gimme.

Will the Rocket return this season, or shall he retire?

Re: How often has this happened

I like this part:

"Then the Rocket got Koby's. The next time his oldest son came to the plate, Roger buzzed him high and tight with another fastball. The younger Clemens dodged the pitch, then smiled at his father.

"He was like, 'Sorry about that pitch inside. I was trying to change the view of the ball for you a little bit,' " said Koby"

Changing the view of the ball - that's a nice way to put it.

Joe Niekro's kid Lance is playing for the Giants, so it could happen again, but I don't think Joe has Roger's stuff.

Read "Young Razzle" by John R. Tunis. Climactic last chapter.

I figured out why they have that feature. It is to stop double posting from the impatient person who keeps clicking the submit button multiple times.

Having said that you must be editing with lightening speed to beat the buzzer.

Right.

Wrong. Jim Rome today rhetorically asked if Roger was pissed or proud. Shades of Steve Magness on that other thread, Roger was driving down the highway and called him on his cell phone and answered the question. Pissed.
