Roger Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy
McCready that began when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and the pitcher was a Boston Red Sox
ace, the Daily News reported.
Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, confirmed a long-term relationship but told the newspaper it was not
sexual.
"He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her," Hardin said. "He's
considered her a close family friend. ... He has never had a sexual relationship with her."
Clemens was 28 and a married father of two when he first met McCready, the newspaper reported.
The story, which appeared on the newspaper's Web site Sunday night and in editions Monday, quoted
several people who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation. It said Clemens
sent cash to McCready to help her with legal
issues and reached out to her when she was in jail last year in Tennessee for violating probation after
allegedly hitting her mother.
The revelation could undermine Clemens' reputation, which is central to the defamation suit the
former pitcher has filed against former personal trainer Brian McNamee. McNamee contends Clemens
used performance-enhancing substances during his major
league career.
Yes, yes, we all "know" that Roger is a liar. But we also know that bimbo drug addict z-list celebrities will say/do anything to try to get back up onto the c-list. I don't know if she can sing, but she knows how to get publicity when she needs it.
