The Rocket That Fell to Earth Quotes

“Here is the difference between Roger Clemens and 99 percent of other humans. Last wishes be damned, other humans do not pitch on the day their mother dies. They see a match-up against the Marlins as a game-one of 162 to be played in the course of a very long season. They take the time to cry and hurt and remember, to reflect on their own mortality and how they can best honor their loved one. They plan a funeral, call friends, and family members.

But that's not the way Clemens was wired. His life was baseball, and baseball was his life.”
― Jeff Pearlman, The Rocket That Fell to Earth: Roger Clemens and the Rage for Baseball Immortality
