Overview
- Roger Clemens threw a ceremonial first pitch to his son Kody on Friday night at Fenway Park while Kody started in right field for the Minnesota Twins.
- The Red Sox gave away a special double bobblehead honoring Clemens’s two 20‑strikeout, nine‑inning games, a giveaway the club timed for the weekend so his family could attend.
- Clemens wore a Red Sox City Connect No. 21 jersey at the park, joked about the pitch and signed autographs for fans outside Fenway before the game.
- The visit coincides with a charity auction tied to the Jimmy Fund and the Roger Clemens Foundation that offers items such as an hour of batting practice with Clemens.
- Clemens’s return highlighted his career marks—2,590 strikeouts for Boston and seven Cy Young Awards—and he said he is open to the idea of the club retiring his No. 21 in the future.
