Yes, he gained far more of his fame as a member of the Red Sox, but the two seasons he was with us were absolutely epic for him personally. 41-13, 2.33 ERA, 563 K in 498.2 IP and 20.1 bWAR, 2 Cy Young Awards. Whoa! We found later that there may have been certain reasons for his resurgence, but it was still the two greatest pitching seasons we've ever seen back to back in this town. It was something else to watch. Only problem was, not enough people did. Toronto suffered a lot of backlash over the 1994 lockout/strike/work stoppage, and we couldn't get too many out to the games even when Clemens pitched. I myself didn't go back to a game until 1998 and I love baseball. All-time great pitcher. Note to Red Sox fans, please don't let this dissuade you from posting him in his more familiar colours. I just had to get him in because he's all we've got at #21. Roger Clemens #21
