As it is, their legacies have been irreparably destroyed. Maybe some day, they'll be forgiven. But the dark cloud that hangs over all of them will never be forgotten.Josh Borensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418664151302692734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5132588.post-1390325700708441662009-01-14T02:42:00.000-05:002009-01-14T02:42:00.000-05:00This little boy of the little boy mentioned above,...This little boy of the little boy mentioned above, wants to say that he feels the same way. I remember that magical 98 season, when my passion, baseball, found life again. And so did it help a father and son walk throug equally, related, but different turbulent times. It gave us something to talk about when things could have been akward.<BR/>As for Clemens, I was raised a diehard Yankees fan, but I grew up in New England, so I saw a lot of red sox games. I couldn't help but have heroes from that "hated team". Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens, Jim (about time the Hall let him in) Rice, were those guys. So imagine my happiness when two of the three donned yankees uniforms and helped them win world series. Now I sit and watch as one of my trifectas legacies falls apart. It's gut wrenching to be honest. One thing that should be remebered though, as tough as it is to see our heroes fall, it still can't take away the joy their moments in the past gave you, those moments may have been fleeting, but sometimes they meant the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
