"Shocking /s"

I know, I know. LoL.

At the time for me personally though, incredibly, it made a difference.

I was getting divorced, and I was not OK with that. My kids were very young, and Boston Red Sox fans are ...Well what they are.

I no longer consider myself to be a Red Sox fan, but back in those days, Clemens was just....well...perhaps a catalyst for my current opinion of that particular sports enterprise.

I would not give a nickel to go to a Red Sox game now, and that has been so for just about 20 years now. And I have been to many many games at Fenway Park.

Please pardon syntax and structure. This is a sports comment here.

No problem. I actually think the contract holdout is another example of Clemens' all or nothing competitiveness. His thinking, I believe, is to play tough and hard and the hell with anyone who doesn't like it. That's why teammates say they hate him as an opponent but love him as a teammate. I'd love him as a teammate too. He goes all out to win all the time.

I went to Fenway Park once...it was a weekend series in 98. Saw the Sox host my Yankees on Sat and Sun. Had a fabulous time. Great time drinking in the local bars, talking baseball with the locals. Maybe the best baseball experience I ever had. I don't think I've been to a game since. Hard to believe it's been 10 years, but hey, you grow up, and see the players for what they are, and it loses its appeal.
