Before Roger Clemens' high-profile appearance at the New York Yankees game Wednesday in Tampa, Fla., he threw a round of batting practice in Kissimmee to some of the Astros' minor leaguers ? and a major player.
Astros owner Drayton McLane put on a batting helmet, stepped into the batter's box against Clemens and looked at a few fastballs whiz past before deciding he had seen enough. ...
Did McLane get a hit?
"Absolutely not," he said.
McLane, who returned home to Temple on Thursday, spent time entertaining some of his most important customers from his various business ventures, and several of them were able to face Clemens as well.
The LinkHall of Fame pitcher, great competitor, gets to throw bp to a bunch of suits. Nice.
