Roger Clemens is a prick.
Roger Clemens is a fierce competitor.
I think either description is true--depending on which team you support!
The most dominating pitcher I can think of is Bob Gibson. He would throw at his grandmother if she was crowding the plate. Roger Clemens has lost his mind at times, especially when Mike Piazza was within 60 feet, 6 inches of him, but he's one of the greatest of the last 20 years.
The fact that he's been so amazing for so long is incredible.
If you're glad to seem him go, I think you're missing out on one of the best pitchers of our generation. We shouldn't hope to see them go...we should be hoping that they'll stay.
This seems like the same argument people use with Barry Bonds. He's a jerk, so he's not as good. If we're just looking for happy-go-lucky players, vote John Kruk into the Hall of Fame.
