Publisher's note

The first biography of Roger Clemens, THE ROCKET THAT FELL TO EARTH is an explosive account of the rise and fall of one of the greatest modern-day baseball players and arguably the best pitcher of all time -- by the New York Times bestselling author of THE BAD GUYS WON and BOYS WILL BE BOYS.

Annotation

The national sports media has had a much easier time pounding on Roger Clemens than opposing hitters ever did while he was on the pitcher's mound. The barrage continues with this tell-all from Jeff Pearlman, who has previously provided blow-by-snorted-blow accounts of the notorious antics of the 1986 New York Mets and the 1990s-era Dallas Cowboys. Pearlman details Clemens's nearly anonymous upbringing in Ohio, his remarkable rise to baseball stardom (seven Cy Young Awards, 354 wins, 4,672 strikeouts), and his astonishing fall from grace amid rampant accusations of steroid use and promiscuity, including a reputed affair with a 15-year-old girl.
