Roger Clemens

During his high school years, Roger Clemens showcased a knack for playing sports such as football and basketball. Even so, his skills on the two previously-mentioned games are no match for the degree of expertise he had for baseball. After continuing his career as a college baseball player, Clemens found his way into the big leagues and played for 24 seasons in MLB. Throughout that 24-season run, the baseball pitcher played for the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees, the Houston Astros, and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Although his skills were undoubtedly praised, his attitude, on the other hand, was far from pleasant. Due to his on- and off-court antics, including the time he threw a broken bat at Mike Piazza, Clemens eventually became recognized for the wrong things. In fact, by the end of his career, the pitcher gained recognition for his diva-like behavior – he’d even complain about the fact no one would carry his luggage for him.
