    As time goes by, most experts will agree that it is Roger Clemens. It won't even be close.

    Was Roger Clemens born here?

    Also, was Clyde Drexler born here?

    Anyway, I saw Mary Lou Retton at the gymnastics her girls and my girls go... she's a nice lady but parks her HUMMER2 in the handicapped space... :(
