Clemens to Sit Out At Least Two Months
Future Hall-of-Famer Roger Clemens is expected to sit out at least two months before deciding whether he'll retire. Four teams, including his homestate Astros and Rangers, are pursuing him to continue pitching. Red Sox catcher and team captain Jason Varitek is attempting to persuade Clemens to please come to Boston. Clemens has 192 victories pitching for Boston, which ties him with Cy Young for the team lead.
