Boston Honors Roger Clemens With 7,500 Bobbleheads Friday

Boston will honor roger clemens on Friday when the Red Sox open a three-game home series against the Minnesota Twins. The club is also set to give away 7,500 bobbleheads tied to the 40th anniversary of his 20-strikeout game.

Twins Visit Fenway Park

The timing gives the series a sharper edge because Kody Clemens is on Minnesota's roster. He said, "They had to have planned this."

"I knew they were going to do a bobblehead," he said. "But to pick the same weekend?" Boston has honored Roger Clemens before, including his induction into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2014, but this trip comes with his son in the opposing dugout.

Kody Clemens Returns Home

Kody called the weekend "red carpet," and added, "It’s super cool for him to go back, and the fans love seeing him. … He loves Boston. They have treated him really well over the last 40 years or whatever it’s been. It’s awesome. I have a ton of family — basically everybody’s coming for that weekend. No one is missing it. It’s a big crew."

He is hitting.240 with four home runs and 12 RBIs this season for Minnesota. For Boston fans, Friday is not just a giveaway night; it is a reunion built around a name already in the club’s Hall of Fame and a son making the visit from the other side.
