Donald Trump Urges Roger Clemens to Sue MLB Over Hall of Fame Exclusion

President Donald Trump has intensified his campaign urging Major League Baseball to induct Roger Clemens into the Hall of Fame, emphasizing Clemens' impressive career achievements including 354 wins, two World Series titles, and a record seven Cy Young Awards. Trump insists Clemens never used performance-enhancing drugs, despite being named in the 2007 Mitchell Report, and has encouraged Clemens to sue MLB over his exclusion, asserting Clemens has a strong legal case. Clemens, who denied steroid allegations and was acquitted of lying to Congress, failed to reach the Hall of Fame's 75 percent voting threshold during his decade of eligibility and now has limited options for induction. Trump also criticized MLB for delaying Pete Rose's Hall of Fame eligibility until after his death and demanded Clemens receive recognition based on talent rather than controversy. The President's calls have been made repeatedly on his social media platform Truth Social, linking Clemens' case to broader questions of fairness and legacy in baseball. Trump's vocal support highlights ongoing debates over Clemens' legacy amid allegations and MLB's handling of player eligibility.
