Well, Ty Cobb never played for Boston, but that may be right. Clemens got away with murder everywhere he went (including NY) and I was embarassed when he beaned Piazza and threw the bat at him later on. His explanations were pure bullshit.

I do not know. I think he had a flashback to when he got beaned and thought he was momentarily 50 years younger. It was stupid as hell. If he would have fallen on Pedro's ankle and hurt him somehow, it would have been a disaster. For the Yankees, Sox and baseball. But at least he seems genuinely sorry he did it.
