Roger Clemens, after living a full life, died.
When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest
little house with a faded Yankee flag in the window. “This house is yours
for eternity,” God said. “This is very special, not everyone gets a house up
here.”
Roger felt special, indeed, and walked into his house. On his way up to the
porch he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a three-story
mansion with a bright red and blue sidewalk, a 50 foot flagpole with a Red
Sox flag flying on it, and a Red Sox logo in every window. In the front yard
was a sign reading ’Welcome To Beantown.’
Clemen looked at God and said, “I don’t mean to be ungrateful, but I have a
question. I won three World Series rings, more awards than I can remember,
and I won more than 300 games.” God answered, “So what do you want to know, Roger?”
“Well, why does Pedro Martinez get a better house than me?” God chuckled and said, “Roger, that’s not Pedro’s house… its mine.”
