Clemens faces the media


For the first time since being accused of taking steroids, Roger Clemens faced the media this afternoon. He surprised everyone by playing a 17 minute, taped, phone conversation between himself and former training Brian McNamee.


After the taped conversation, Clemens took questions from the media, but cut the press conference short after being asked about the Hall of Fame, saying "Do you think I played my career because I'm worried about the damn Hall of Fame?" "You keep your vote. I don't need the Hall of Fame to justify that I put my butt on the line and I worked my tail off, and I defy anybody to say I did it by cheating or taking any shortcuts, OK?"
