9. Roger Clemens-RHP
It pains me to do this, because I hate Roger Clemens, but his numbers and the specifics of his success indicate that he's the best pitcher of all time.
Roger Clemens

rary hurlers like Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Clemens, Pedro Martinez, and Randy Johnson.

defend himself, saying that he never "knowingly" took steroids. What a joke! Roger Clemens went through the same process. Sammy Sosa forgot how to speak English when asked about 'roids, and Mark McGwire "won't talk about the past". Really, the only two guys to ever come clean about their substance use lately have been Jose Canseco and Jason Giambi. Canseco is a nut and can't be given much credit (besides getting people thinking about the topic), so really I only respect Giambi for his honesty.

It was as recent as 2004 where Roger Clemens was at top of his game. It was his first year in the National League while playing for the Houston Astros. He ended up going 18-4 and eventually went on to win the National League Cy Young Award. How quickly can things can fall from grace. In December 13, 2007, Clemens name was listed in the Mitchell Report, which alleged that he had used steroids and HGH during the 1998-2001 seasons. Ever since those allegations, Clemens has been saying he was falsely accused with his lawyer Rusty Hardin backing him up. Even under oath in front of federal investigators and the Supreme Court, he kept to his story that he never did take HGH or steroids. What a horrible decision that would later be for him.

WHO WILL PLAY?
Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are two people that changed the sport of baseball forever. One might look at this statement and say, “Of course they did. Bonds took down the most prestigious records in baseball by hitting more dingers than good Old Hank. He has given the sport more publicity and has made it more popular. Clemens is a superhero for all of us. A man whose career was falling apart, quickly changed turned it around and showed the 40’s were the new 20’s. With all those Cy Young’s, he is one of the best pitchers in history.” I would tell you, “Nope, that isn’t how they changed it. That is how they ruined the sport.” You would then look at me funny and walk away. Go ahead, walk away from the truth. The truth is these men have tainted this sport and have embarrassed the players in the generation before them.

However, they allowed the hearing to take place because Roger Clemens wanted to give his side of the story and make sure the report was fair. While it's true that he has the right to defend his name, it's time for baseball to take control of the issue for good.

Leaving Roger Clemens and his accuser, Brian McNamee as the only participants. Not sure if these two will ever be in the same room, but if they are could you imagine the tension and intensity if they in fact are? Clemens has already said he will talk to Congress tomorrow and will not plead the fifth, talk about great reality TV.
