US EditionPresident Trump Calls for Roger Clemens Be Inducted Into Baseball Hall of Fame
President Trump highlighted Roger Clemens' record 354 wins and seven Cy Young Awards, urging immediate Hall of Fame induction despite longstanding drug use allegations.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Roger Clemens, former MLB pitcher, for immediate Hall of Fame induction on Truth Social, warning against the 'stupidity' Clemens faces.
- Named in the 2007 Mitchell Report, Roger Clemens amassed 354 wins, seven Cy Young Awards, and 11 All-Star selections, but he was acquitted in 2012 and denies steroid use.
- Clemens' ballot history shows he appeared on the Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot from 2013–2022 but never reached the 75 percent threshold, peaking at 65.2 percent in his final year of eligibility.
- MLB rules, however, limit how quickly an inductee can be added, as Trump compared Clemens' situation to Pete Rose and cited MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred's recent reinstatement of Rose as precedent.
- Supporters and skeptics remain split, as the Clemens debate balances achievements and integrity, with BBWAA eligibility ended but Contemporary Era Baseball Players Committee and 2025 Hall procedural changes affecting his future chances.
