I was watching Black Mass last night, which was just whatever. But one thing that stood out to me was this move by John Connolly here. He offers his boss tickets to a Red Sox game on June 11, 1985. When his boss declines he tries to tempt him with "You sure? Clemens is pitching..." Roger Clemens' rookie season was 1984 in which he went 9-4 with a 4.32 era in 21 games. His breakout season came in 1986 when he started off 14-0 en route to a 24-4 finish and took home a Cy Young, an MVP and a game jersey with Wade Boggs' tears on it. Going into that June 11, 1985 start Clemens was a respectful 6-4 with a 3.44 era. So who is Connolly fooling kissing up to his boss by pimping out a pitcher who was not quite a household name? Clemens did start that game, no decision and the Sox lost 5-3. His boss would have had a terrible time! Nice try, Connolly. Fucking weasel.
