Roger Clemens was on hand to see his son Kody play at Fenway Park in Boston, Ma. on Saturday, and he wound up getting to see his son go deep.
Kody Clemens hit a tiebreaking two-run home run in the top of the sixth inning of the game between the Minnesota Twins and the Boston Red Sox. It was Kody’s first home run as a member of the Twins, and Roger’s reaction was great.
The elder Clemens celebrated enthusiastically with family members. When Kody flashed a celebratory “Hook ’em Horns” celebration toward his father as he crossed home plate, Roger sent the gesture right back his way.
The home run definitely had some added meaning for the family. It was Kody’s first career home run at Fenway Park, which was Clemens’ home for the 13 years he spent with the Red Sox. Clemens eventually left Boston and fell out with the team’s fans, but that will not change the significance of the moment for him.
Kody was released by another team last week, and he just joined the Twins. He made his fifth appearance for Minnesota on Saturday, and it was his first home run as a team member. Since his 2022 MLB debut, he has now hit 15 home runs in his career.
