In all of his years with Boston, Roger had 1 AB during the regular season and 4 in the post-season.

Re: pine tar on clemen's cap?
i'm not questioning the item. i simply can't figure out why clemens' hat would have pinetar on it or why that's a "clemens trait".
- if clemens were batting, he'd be wearing a batting helmet. pinetar would get on the helmet, not the cap.
- if clemens was pitching with pine tar on his brim (and thus his fingers) then he must've gotten it on the ball. isn't it against the rules to put a foreign substance on a ball (other than the regulation mud)? how's clemens putting pine tar on a ball any different than gaylord perry putting vaseline on it?
a mystery i can't solve. anyone?

Any chance it's rosin buildup (which is more logical) and Leland's was slightly off in their description?
