Clemens is a Houston resident and true local hero who played for the University of Texas before embarking on an incredible pro career that has established him as one of the game’s greatest pitchers. Clemens has won an unprecedented seven Cy-Young Awards, won 348 games, and struck out more than 4,000 batters while pitching for the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees, and his hometown Houston Astros.
“I enjoy watching other people do what they do best. I’ll be walking up to (Allan) and try to pick up anything I can, ” Clemens said.
“It’s amazing looking at the technology and the speed, ” Clemens added of motorsport. “It’s a lot like baseball. To someone sitting in the grandstands, it looks like there is so much room in the outfield but it’s really, really hard. You don’t get an appreciation for the speed of both in the stands. It’s incredible. ”
