Roger Clemens fired back at Roy Halladay’s Twitter rant

Roger Clemens strikes back!

Earlier this week former Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay really went after Roger Clemens via Twitter.

Halladay blasted the possible selection of former Major League Baseball stars, pitcher Roger Clemens and outfielder Barry Bonds, into the Hall of Fame for 2016. Halladay suggested that if you were using PEDs to get ahead, you were basically admitting that you do not have the skills necessary to be a successful player.

On Thursday, Clemens formed a rebuttal to Halladay’s statement that was caught by FOX reporter Mark Berman on Twitter. Clemens throws a sling-shot at Halladay saying that when they were teammates in Toronto, “Doc” was accused of using amphetamines.

Clemens goes further suggesting that Roy should not throw accusations his way on social media.

On Wednesday afternoon, the 2016 Major League Baseball future Hall of Famers were announced and the inductees were former catcher Mike Piazza and outfielder Ken Griffey, Jr. Piazza will be inducted as a

New York Mets

player. He also spent time with the

Florida Marlins

,

San Diego Padres

,

Oakland Athletics

and the

Los Angeles Dodgers

organization. Griffey, Jr. will be inducted as a

Seattle Mariners

player. He also spent time with the

Cincinnati Reds

organization, as well as the

Chicago White Sox

. He returned to Seattle to play for two seasons before leaving the game at the conclusion of the 2010 campaign.

There’s no question that players such as Bonds, Clemens and current New York Yankees DH Alex Rodriguez have all had successful careers. No one can dispute their abilities on the field. However, these three men along with others will always be linked to the steroid scandal. Their tainted past will have a negative slant on the direction of their legacy. The ultimate prize for these men, of course, would include being elected into Cooperstown as a Hall of Famer.
