    It was just McGrady and Clemens playing horse and then McGrady batting with Clemens pitching in the cage

    both of them seemed to enjoy it and McGrady couldn't touch Roger's fastball but not many can

    It was interesting

    With ESPN, you have absolutely no chance of seeing it again. They never rerun material. Ever.

    Anyways, it was pretty funny. TMAC's pitching didn't look that bad.

    I had heard somewhere that T-Mac used to play some baseball in the off-season, I don't know if it was with some minor league team or what. But I heard that before.

    Anyways, here is the only thing I found about him playing baseball when he was younger:

    http://www.jockbio.com/Bios/McGrady/McGrady_bio.html

    Tracy discovered sports at an early age and proved to be a natural athlete. He was first drawn to baseball. Tall, thin, and wiry, he possessed a blazing fastball and could whip his bat throught the hitting zone with tremendous force. A Little League star in Auburndale, Tracy appeared headed for a career on the diamond until another round ball began to consume his life. He had played hoops all along, but didn’t get serious about the sport until Penny Hardaway joined the Orlando Magic, in the fall of 1993. The rookie did things on the court that Tracy had never seen before. Hardaway quickly became his hero, the youngster emulating every part of his game.

    And on a side note, this was in the article too:

    Of the teams interested in Tracy, the Chicago Bulls appeared the most serious. GM Jerry Krause negotiated to send Scottie Pippen to the Vancouver Grizzlies for their selection, #4 overall. But hours before the draft Michael Jordan nixed the deal, promising to retire if Pippen were traded.:eek: :eek:

    WOW! That guy Krause was an idiot! Little did he know, they would get another championship that year:rolleyes:

    On the other hand, the Bulls would have been a pretty good team if they had McGrady/Chandler/Curry/Hinrich. Boy, glad it didn't happen:)
