Never answered the question because the interviewer wouldn't shut up and distracted him

[rickwillingham]

This interviewer is like Joe West and Angel Hernandez, he wants to be the center of attention. The best interviewer and umpire is the one that nobody notices.

[psychtrane]

So the question remains: Who is the best hitter Roger Clemens faced? Guess we'll never know unless a competent interviewer asks him.

[macbeavers]

The interviewer needs to shut up and listen.

[TCDAVIS]

He literally didn’t let him answer the question.

[mobilewon]

I'm still waiting for an answer to the question. The interviewer wouldn't shut up.

[spactick]

I wished Roger would have shut up so that we could hear more of the interviewer

[guardinoinc.]

Let Roger talk.... I wanted to hear more about the contact hitters he faced

[RetroHabit]

Stop bouncing around the question Clemens, you know it's Piazza

[lorenzocarrillo]

Mike Piazza had his number; his ego would never allow him to admit it.

18 complete games in a season is a
Dumbest interviewer ever????
In 1975 10 men had 18 or more complete games, with Catfish Hunter tossing 30. (I looked at one random year, complete games were the norm back then).
The interviewer knows nothing of baseball history and did no research to say that.

[talkandys]

The first name popped in my head was Mike Piazza even before i started this clip. No one can deny that.

[Pianoable]

The single season record for complete games (live ball era) was 33 by Grover Cleveland Alexander in 1920 and Burleigh Grimes in 1923.
Cy Young pitched 749 complete games compared to Justin Verlander who has pitched 26.

[AbbieHoffmansGhost]

Hey Evan, no one is watching this to hear you talk. Believe me.

[flame-sky]

That interviewer is wrong, Clemens does not have that record.

[terrencegroves]

Seems like after all this time he would admit it was Mike Piazza mike owned him

[johngonzalez]

In my opinion, Mike Piazza. Mike Piazza owned Roger Clemens

[G-Fi-High]

Horrible interviewer, let the man speak.

[ronmexico]

I'll never forget Piazza getting drilled, even as a Yankees fan it made me sick.

I saw Roger pitch in 1984, when he first came up. I was blown away at how he pitched in the final 3 innings. He got stronger as the game went on.
He got hurt shortly after that, and missed the rest of '84 and most of the 1985 season.
I maintain that he was throwing the hardest when I saw him in 1984. Maybe too hard.. but the other team knew they were getting the heat, and it did not matter that much.
I was lucky enough to see his CG shut out, when he struck out 11, vs the White Sox.
I think he struck out the side in the 9th, but can't quite I do remember that he owned them in the 9th, they went down swinging at air. The crowd was going crazy, but they were not selling the place out yet, it took after teh '86 year to do that every night. In 1986, I'd go in the day of the game, and be able to buy tickets at the gate.... But Clemens was the main reason why that ended right there. After that year, you heard the scalpers offering the tickets as you walked into the place.
