Pitching Repertoire

A description of Clemens' pitching repertoire would be a helpful addition to this article. NYCRuss ☎ 12:50, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would indeed! I'll get on it shortly. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 21:42, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested edit

The following sentence should be changed: "Clemens would also find himself the point of minor controversy when it was revealed in the book The Yankee Years by Joe Torre and Tom Verducci that Clemens' bizarre pre-game ritual included soaking in extremely hot water then having the hottest possible muscle liniment applied to his genitals during his rub-down.[41]" The word "genitals" needs to be changed to "testicles". The source states testicles, and the word genitals indicates penis and scrotum.71.222.88.155 (talk) 00:29, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Should Sugar Land Skeeters be included in the infobox?

Currently the Skeeters list Clemens as inactive. So how should the infobox list the Skeeters? Just in the past teams as in "Sugar Land Skeeters (2012-present)"? Andrewlp1991 (talk) 21:22, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The info box only lists Major League teams he has played for, so the Skeeters should not be listed at all. Spanneraol (talk) 00:20, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
