Rogers Clemens

Roger Clemens is a name those nationwide called their own regardless of what uniform he wore.  His start at Spring Woods High took him to San Jacinto Jr. College and onto a successful career as a University of Texas Longhorn.  Clemens was the winning pitcher in the final game of the 1983 College World Series.

In 1983, Roger was drafted by the Boston Red Sox and one year later named Rookie of the Year.  Clemens is a seven-time Cy Young Award winner and a twelve-time MLB All Star.  He earned 354 wins, 4,672 strike outs and 2 World Championship rings during his MLB career with the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees and Houston Astros.

Roger and his wife, Debbie, make their home in Houston, Texas.  He remains very active in the community.  Roger and Debbie Clemens established the Roger Clemens Foundation in 1992 which helps and supports children’s charities from all walks of life.
