Roger Clemens Enjoyed Playing with A-Rod Because the Rocket was an Excellent Teammate

Roger Clemens, who once said Mike Piazza would have to get in line with his (Roger's) teammates if he wanted to hit him, is now telling folks he was a great team guy:

Roger Clemens was at Fenway Park Tuesday night to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Red Sox team that won the AL East in 1988, and while speaking with the media, he discussed his former teammate Rodriguez. And at the very least, Clemens didn’t slam A-Rod when asked if he could empathize with the embattled star.

"When A-Rod was my teammate in New York, I was glad he was my teammate," Clemens told the Associated Press. "I did everything to make him feel comfortable when he was our teammate, but I did that for all my teammates. Ask anybody I played for here or any of the four clubs I played for, I think I was a pretty solid teammate."

So, basically, Clemens was glad to have Rodriguez as a teammate, because Clemens, himself was such an awesome teammate — which exonerates Rodriguez in his eyes? Maybe? I don’t really know.

That's just sweet.
