Clemens, speaking to reporters after the conclusion of Saturday’s Old-Timers’ Day festivities, said he’s in support of most new rules. He likes the pitch clock. He loves the automated strike zone and wants every batter to have an opportunity to challenge a pitch at least once every game. As he put it, “It only takes two seconds.”

In Game 2 of the 2000 World Series, New York Yankees starting pitcher Roger Clemens threw a shard of a broken bat in the direction of New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza, who had just broken his lumber while trying to fight off an inside pitch that dribbled foul.

On Saturday afternoon, at Yankees Old-Timers’ Day, Clemens and the world were reminded of one of his most infamous incidents, that being his broken bat toss at Mets’ catcher Mike Piazza during Game Two of the 2000 World Series. Of course, Clemens also spoke at length about that incident earlier in the week at David Cone’s charity golf outing.
