Trump Awards Clemens Medal of Freedom in San Antonio

President Donald Trump announced on October 7 that he will award baseball pitcher Roger Clemens the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The surprise declaration occurred at a campaign rally in San Antonio, Texas, where Clemens had introduced the President. Trump framed the civilian honor as superior to baseball recognition, specifically addressing Clemens' exclusion from the Baseball Hall of Fame due to steroid allegations. Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner, expressed shock and gratitude, stating the award from the President superseded his professional achievements. The event served as a campaign stop for Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton ahead of the midterm elections.

Trump Awards Roger Clemens Presidential Medal of Freedom, Bypassing Hall of Fame Snub

President Donald Trump announced on October 7 that he will award baseball pitcher Roger Clemens the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The surprise announcement was made at a campaign rally in San Antonio, Texas, where Clemens had introduced the President. Trump called Clemens 'maybe the greatest pitcher of all time' and stated the award supersedes the Baseball Hall of Fame, which has repeatedly rejected Clemens due to steroid allegations. Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young winner, expressed shock and gratitude, noting the honor was given in his home state. This marks the second time Trump has used the medal to rehabilitate a baseball figure previously excluded from the Hall of Fame, following his advocacy for Pete Rose.
