Apologies if you seen this already. From the AP’s Chris Duncan (link taken from Baseball Think Factory) :
Remembering back to a Japan-South Korea game in Anaheim, Calif., Clemens said he took clothes to a dry cleaners and was told he wouldn’t get them back for nearly a week.
“They said, ‘You’ve got no chance,’ they told me,” Clemens said. “I said, `I’m going to get it tomorrow, right?’ And then she goes, `No chance, we’re going to the game.’ So we couldn’t get dry cleaning done out there, but I guess the neatest thing about them was there were about 50,000 of them at Anaheim Stadium, Korea and Japan.
The worst part of this story is that we’ve found a photograph of some of the Rocket’s laundry. Absolutely shameful.
It gets worse. According to ussmariner.com, that AP story was edited. It originally didn’t include the story about the one dry cleaner, but instead said this:
“Roger Clemens was discussing his future Tuesday at the Astros season opener when he responded to a question about his health after the World Baseball Classic with a comment that some might consider racially insensitive … he made a questionable comment when speaking about the devotion of the Japanese and South Korean fans.
“None of the dry cleaners were open, they were all at the game, Japan and Korea,†Clemens said. “So we couldn’t get any dry cleaning done out there, but I guess the neatest thing is that 50,000 of them were at Anaheim Stadium.â€
