Rocket Returns: Roger Clemens Throws Out 1st Pitch to Son Kody at Fenway
The appearance came during bobblehead night, which the club timed with Kody Clemens’ arrival in Boston.
- On Friday, Red Sox career leader Roger Clemens threw a ceremonial pitch to his son, Kody Clemens, at Fenway Park before the Boston Red Sox matchup with the Minnesota Twins. The 63-year-old made the toss to his son, who caught it behind home plate.
- Roger accumulated 2,590 strikeouts over 13 seasons with the Red Sox, establishing himself as a franchise-leading pitcher who won three of his seven Young Awards. He departed Boston following the 1996 season.
- With family members in the stands at Fenway, the club honored Roger with a bobblehead night. The 63-year-old wore his old jersey to the mound, marking a special return to the franchise he played for.
- Noting his children often tease him about Kody's achievements, including striking out Shohei Ohtani, Roger said after throwing to Kody, "It's been a fun day." The moment marked the latest father-son connection for the former pitcher.
- No Red Sox player has worn the jersey since 1996, though Roger downplayed potential retirement of his number. He remains absent from Fenway's row of honor, despite his 13-year tenure and three Young Awards.
