Roger Clemens’ Steroid T-Shirt
Posted on 00:10 December 29th, 2007 by Millard Baker
A Roger Clemens T-shirt with the question “Got Rocket Fuel?” was released about six months ago. But the phrase has taken on new meaning since the release of the Mitchell Report and the allegations of steroid use and growth hormone use were published a couple of weeks ago. The prices have been discounted on sport merchandise with names of athletes accused of steroid use:
On clearance racks of the team’s clubhouse stores and in the sale section of its Web site is a T-shirt that has taken on an unintended connotation since Roger Clemens, known as the Rocket, was linked to the use of steroids and human growth hormone. His name and No. 22 are printed on the back, and the front asks, “Got Rocket Fuel?”
Yet a search for this t-shirt on the internet indicate that it is largely sold out with the exception of a few stores.
