Overview

• Posting on Truth Social on Sunday, the president urged the Baseball Hall of Fame to put Roger Clemens in "NOW" after saying he golfed with the pitcher.
• Clemens appeared on 10 BBWAA ballots from 2013 to 2022 and never reached the 75% needed for election, topping out at 65.2% in his final year.
• He was named in the 2007 Mitchell Report and accused by former trainer Brian McNamee of PED use, claims he has denied, and he was acquitted of lying to Congress.
• Clemens could be reviewed by a 16-person Contemporary Era Committee in December for 2026 induction, and new 2025 rules could end future consideration if he receives fewer than five votes again.
• Trump compared Clemens’ case to Pete Rose, though MLB’s May move to remove Rose from the ineligible list did not confer Hall voting power on the commissioner.
