Rocket Returning to the Yankees?
Will Roger "The Rocket" Clemens return to the Yankees?
The Tank has been encouraged by recent reports in local New York and the Internet.
According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the main stumbling block appears to be going home in between starts as he did with the Astros to spend more time with his family.
The Yankees appear to be willing to concede this point. The Tank is hopeful that Clemens return to the Yankees for the following reasons:
(1) His experience, especially pitching in New York, and Baseball Hall of Fame (BHOF) resume.
(2) Pitching with his best friend Andy Pettitte can only make them happier and better.
(3) Clemens makes everybody (including Pettitte) work harder, especially important for the future of the training of the young crop of pitchers like Wang, Hughes, Karstens, Rasner, Sanchez, etc.
Since fellow BHOFer Randy Johnson is traded to Arizona, Clemens has a good chance of getting this unique concession because Pettitte wouldn't ask for it and neither would Mussina.
Please keep saying the prayers, eating the vitamins, and lighting the candles for the Rocket's return to the Yankees.
