The
Sugar Land Skeeters are the newest members of the independent
Atlantic League. The started operation this summer in a brand new
stadium located in suburban Houston. My son and I were planning to go to
a game sometime this summer and when my company offered two free
tickets for this Saturday's game, I jumped on them. Yesterday, it was
announced that Roger Clemens had signed with the team and would be
pitching the game.

I will admit to being a Clemens fan, even after, or maybe especially after, his acquittal on perjury charges. As lousy as the Astros are today, they did go to the 2005 World Series with Clemens on the mound.

I was already planning to take lots of photos at the game for a possible blog post early next week. So keep tuned.

Clemens has apparently not committed to anything more than this one game. 50 years old, it was reported that his fast ball was clocked at 87 mph in practice. He'll be facing the Bridgeport Bluefish featuring former major league powerhouses such as Luis Figueroa, Shae Hillenbrand, and Joey Gathright.
