President Donald Trump raged on Sunday that a famous pitcher has not yet been inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that he played golf with New York Yankees legend Roger Clemens and his son Kacy on Saturday. The former major leaguer has the most Cy Young awards in MLB history with seven, was elected to the All-Star Game 11 times, and has the ninth-most wins in league history with 354.
Despite his monumental achievements, Clemens was not elected to the Hall of Fame in his 10 years of eligibility because of his documented use of performance-enhancing drugs, according to reports.
"People think he took drugs, but nothing was proven," Trump wrote in his post. "He never tested positive, and Roger, from the very beginning, totally denies it. He was just as great before those erroneous charges were leveled at him."
"This is going to be like Pete Rose where, after over 4,000 Hits, they wouldn’t put him in the Hall of Fame until I spoke to the Commissioner, and he promised to do so, but it was essentially a promise not kept because he only “opened it up” when Pete died and, even then, he said that Pete Rose only got into the mix because of DEATH," Trump's post reads in part.
"We are not going to let that happen in the case of Roger Clemens. 354 Wins — Put him in NOW. He and his great family should not be forced to endure this “stupidity” any longer!" it continues.
