The Rocket That Fell to Earth: Roger Clemens and the Rage for Baseball Immortality Paperback - 2010
by Jeff Pearlman
The "New York Times"-bestselling author of "Boys Will Be Boys" and "The Bad Guys Won!" delivers this explosive account of the rise and fall of Roger Clemens--arguably the best pitcher of all time. color photo insert.
From the rear cover
A fearless, hard-nosed Texan with a 98-mph fastball and a propensity to throw at the heads of opposing hitters, Roger "the Rocket" Clemens won 354 games, an unprecedented seven Cy Young Awards, and two World Series trophies over the course of twenty-four seasons. But the statistics and hoopla obscured a far darker story--one of playoff chokes, womanizing (including a long-term affair with a teenage country singer), violent explosions, steroid and human growth hormone use...and an especially dark secret that Clemens spent a lifetime trying to hide: a family tragedy involving drugs and, ultimately, death.
In The Rocket That Fell to Earth, New York Times bestselling author Jeff Pearlman reconstructs the pitcher's life--from his Ohio childhood to the mounds of Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium--to reveal a flawed and troubled man whose rage for baseball immortality took him to superhuman heights before he crashed down to earth.
