One Brave Man: How Roger Clemens Risked Everything to Prove He did not Take Anabolic Steroids (2019 Revised Edition)

Roger Clemens pitched the University of Texas Longhorns to the College World Series baseball championship over Alabama in 1983 and became the leading major league pitcher of his generation. He won the Cy Young Award for best pitcher seven times, the most in the game's history, and is the only man to strike out 20 batters in a nine inning game twice. The baseball focus of this book is the three years Clemens pitched for his hometown Houston Astros, where he led the team to its first World Series in 2005.Falsely accused of taking anabolic steroids in 2007, Clemens fought the charges before Congress and in a 2012 trial, in which he was rapidly acquitted of perjury charges.Further evidence of Clemens' innocence of the steroids charges emerged in 2015, were confirmed by author Hansen Alexander in August 2017, and appear in the early chapters of this book, in detail, for the first time.
