He deserves it. He took the Astros to the NL championship. Good for him.

Has the AL winner been announced yet? I have my fingers crossed for Johan Santana.

$$$$$ Rookie Card $$$$$ Yippee!

I hope this will make up (some day) for selling my Ryan Rookie in '78.

Tip of the hat to a great picher and a state that produces pitchers with bionic arms.

Gaylord Perry was 40 when he won the NL honor in 1978.

Perry looked like he was pushing sixty.

Neikro should have won it that year, but he had the misfortune of playing in the "Launching Pad" with a crappy team behind him.

Clemens was a jerk when I coached Little League.

He was a jerk in junior-high school.

He was a jerk in high school.

He was a jerk in college.

He was a jerk when with the Boston Red Sox.

He was a jerk when with the Expos.

He was a jerk when with the Yankees.

He was a jerk when with the Astros.

He is still, to this day, a jerk.

Some things never change.

He really is an ageless wonder and a freak of nature.

Even though he turned his back on the Yankees to pitch for Houston, he deserves it. Kudos Roger. May you continue to do the thing you love -- pitch -- long into the future.

Maybe some day the choke will win a 7th game.

I thoroughly dislike Clemens.

However, I can't deny that he is talented and he deserves it.
