HALLELUJAH! Clemens is coming home! Your Uncle Buck has just learned that The Rocket has signed a 1 year deal to pitch for the Boston Red Sox in presumably his last year of baseball. Terms of the deal have not been released but UB has to believe it is in the neighborhood of 17-20 million. No word on when the presser to announce Clemens arrival will take place (yes UB threw that photo together himself) but it should happen on Monday, making this a wild weekend for Boston sports...

UB will be the 1st to admit, he didn't think there was a prayer in hell of this happening, as Roger has shown zero emotion towards Boston or the Red Sox since GM Dan Duquette showed him the door in 1996. Clemens was drafted by the Red Sox out of Texas and the Rocket went on to win the Cy Young and AL MVP in 1986 en route to the World Series. Twice Clemens struck out 20, once in 1986 vs. Seattle and once in 1996 against Detroit. After leaving the Sox he moved up to Toronto (much closer to Houston) where he won 2 Cy Young awards in 2 years, before working a trade to New York to play for the Yankoffs. While there Clemens won 2 rings and another Cy Young. After dissing the Yankees (riding off in the new Hummer they bought him) Clemens signed with the Houston Astros where he has lead the team to the NLCS and collected a 7th Cy Young.
