The Rocket — seven Cy Young Awards, 354 wins and 4,672 strikeouts make Roger Clemens one of the two or three greatest pitchers in baseball history.
Roger Clemens won a record seven Cy Young Awards — one with Boston, one with Toronto, one with Houston and four with New York — and is one of the two or three greatest pitchers in baseball history. His 354 wins and 4,672 strikeouts are among the highest totals of the modern era. Like Bonds, his legacy is complicated by PED associations, though he was never convicted of any violation.
His seven Cy Young Awards — spread across four decades and three different franchises — is the most by any pitcher in baseball history by three awards.
