If anyone should have been in the game it was Dontrelle Willis. The most exciting young pitcher in the game, and he didn't even get an inning. He was there for the same reason that Clemens was: he earned it for an achievement. Clemens was a number accomplishment (300wins/4000 K's), and Willis' was for rejuvinating baseball in Florida and getting a hell of a lot of hype.
Just shows that Scioscia "got it" while Dusty didn't.
