Former Major League Baseball pitcher Roger Clemens is"honored" by the encouragement to run for Congress, but he has ruled it out -- blaming the"climate in politics."
A spokesperson for Olson declined to comment on the race or share a copy of the congressman's initial correspondence to Clemens. So far, only one Republican candidate, Brazoria County Judge Greg Hill, has announced his intention to run for Olson's seat, though additional candidates are expected to emerge in the coming months, sources said.
A Clemens spokesperson also told ABC News that he's had an extensive travel schedule this summer, filled with charity and celebrity appearances.
Enough fruitcakes in the gop basket
Good
Great pitcher. Not the brightest bulb on the tree though. Enjoy retirement Roge
A Schilling / Clemens would be an all-timer for disgrace
Figures a cheater would be a Republican.
Be knows the in 2020 we will Return America To Love by voting Democratic Party straight down the ballot. RATL
GOP doesn’t realize how toxic their party is
Why the hell are TV personalities, sports figures, etc. being encouraged to run for public office? It's getting ridiculous now, and given the current moron in the White House, dangerous too. Give it a rest, people!
No thanks. He'd probably cheat at that, too.
Figures a low life cheater like Roger Clemens would be a Republican.
Whew!
LMAO I think you'd have bigger problems as a candidate than the 'climate in politics,' Rog.
Of course he’s a Republican
Well he is a cheater so he will fit right in with the GOP
Good! He'd only make it worse!
