PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) —Roger Clemens isn’t just happy to watch his sons Kody and Kacy Clemens play Major League Baseball, he’s happy to play the role of a dad and watch them play in person.
The seven-time Cy Young winner and two-time World Series Champion is in West Michigan to watch Kody Clemens play for the Whitecaps at Fifth Third Ballpark. He said he enjoys getting the chance to work with them on their game here and there.
“I love it that the boys are chasing their dreams,” Roger Clemens said. “I enjoy working with the boys when I come in town. I tell them when I come in town there is no reason for them to take batting practice (from me), I think they want to see if I can still do it or something. I tell them a glass of red wine is probably just as good as me getting out there for an hour trying to throw.”
Before the game against South Bend Tuesday night, Kody Clemens took pitches from his dad for batting practice.
Off the field, Roger Clemens said he always is open to taking questions from his sons and their teammates.
