Roger Clemens became only the sixth pitcher in modern baseball history to acheive a 16-1 record. The last person to post a 16-1 record was Dave McNally, who did it while pitching for the Baltimore Orioles in 1969.
Still, the best quote in ESPN’s story on the record and the Yankees’ 10-3 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays came from losing Devil Rays pitcher Paul Wilson who gave up a three-run homer to Clay Bellinger in the 7th inning. As Wilson put it, “It was a good ballgame until that three-run homer.”
