In a renewed call for justice, President Donald Trump has once again advocated for the immediate induction of Major League Baseball legend Roger Clemens into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
As the Hall's Contemporary Era Committee convenes this weekend in Orlando, Florida, to vote on new inductees, Trump took to Truth Social to express his support for Clemens, urging the committee to recognize the pitcher's extraordinary career.
These highly respected owners, executives, writers, and, most importantly, Hall of Famers, should do the right thing by finally putting Roger Clemens, known as The Rocket, in the Hall! Trump declared. Clemens, alongside other notable players such as Barry Bonds and Don Mattingly, is under consideration for this prestigious honor.
According to WND, President Trump emphasized Clemens' remarkable achievements, stating, Roger is clearly one of the Greatest Pitchers of All Time, with amazing achievements that include winning 354 Games, seven Cy Young Awards (A Record, by a lot!), and playing in six World Series, winning two. The Rocket is second only to another All Time GREAT, Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, in most strike-outs. Trump criticized the exclusion of Clemens from the Hall of Fame, attributing it to unproven allegations rather than his performance on the field.
The President further argued, Roger Clemens is the only pitcher who has won 300 games to not have the honor of being enshrined in the Hall of Fame, which is a total travesty! The only reason he is not is because of rumors and innuendo, which were not proven. He never tested positive and, when the Obama DOJ went after him in a criminal case claiming that he did take steroids, Roger, who has always denied taking any drugs, was FULLY ACQUITTED OF ALL CHARGES.
Trump's impassioned plea highlights his belief that Clemens' career should be judged on his undeniable talent and accomplishments rather than on baseless accusations. He urged the committee to exercise sound judgment, asserting, I sincerely hope that the Committee uses its great judgment (Rogers opponents never proved a thing against him, and he may have the best pitching record, all told, in the History of Baseball!), and the Baseball Commissioner has the Strength, Wisdom, and Power to do the right thing, and put Roger Clemens in The Baseball Hall of Fame, IMMEDIATELY!
This is not the first time Trump has voiced his support for Clemens. As reported by WorldNetDaily, he previously advocated for Clemens' induction in August, stating, 354 Wins Put him in NOW. He and his great family should not be forced to endure this stupidity any longer! Trump drew parallels to the case of Pete Rose, who faced a prolonged exclusion from the Hall of Fame despite his impressive record, suggesting that Clemens should not suffer a similar fate.
As the debate over Clemens' Hall of Fame candidacy continues, President Trump's vocal support underscores a broader conversation about fairness and recognition in sports. The outcome of the committee's decision will undoubtedly be watched closely by baseball enthusiasts and advocates for Clemens alike.
