In case you missed it yesterday, the New York Daily News released the story of Roger Clemens' alleged 10 year affair with country singer Mindy McCready (no, no. not Randy Ready, Mindy McCready). The hook in this storyline is the fact that the affair reportedly began when McCready was 15 YEARS OLD! (!!!) According to sources, Clemens was with his Red Sox teammates in a Fort Myers, Fla., bar when then-teenager McCready caught his eye. After Clemens threw a shirt with his and several teammates' signatures onstage, an introduction was made.
"It was love at first sight, no doubt about it," said a source with intimate knowledge of the relationship.
According to the source, McCready did not learn that Clemens was married to Debbie Clemens until McCready attended a baseball game with her two younger brothers and read Clemens' bio in the program. The source says that McCready was too young to be angered by the news that Clemens was taken.
Translation: McCready loved the free pampering and all the perks that comes with riding the Rocket (er... sorry). The potential fallacy in all of this is that the Daily News' "source" is still in the dark. That, and McReady's whole "I need to restart my career" thing:McCready, who lives on a quiet, tree-lined street in Nashville, is attempting a career comeback following a string of legal and personal woes... "She's trying to get back to where she was early in her career," says Freeman, who is the executive producer on McCready's "Fallen Angel" documentary and her "Mending Mindy" reality series. "She's a great person, and this will help her get back in the good graces with the industry."
He had done some serious drugs in his day, but nothing would top the surprising high when Bo McLaughlin randomly decided to smoke a rosin bag in the bullpen.
