As the Baseball Hall of Fame continues to debate the merits of inducting Roger Clemens, former President Donald Trump has taken a public stance in support of the Hall of Fame candidacy. In a recent social media post, Trump defended Clemens, the former New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox star, against allegations of steroid use, asserting that the accusations lack solid evidence and have persisted for years. He called on MLB to act swiftly to recognize Clemens’ career achievements, which include 354 career wins, seven Cy Young Awards, and a six-time World Series appearance. Trump also expressed frustration over the prolonged exclusion of Clemens, drawing a parallel to Pete Rose, whose induction was delayed until after his death. In a similar vein, Trump suggested that Clemens should not be kept in limbo for the same reasons. Clemens, a two-time World Series champion and 11-time All-Star, has long been a polarizing figure in baseball due to the allegations. While he has maintained that he never used steroids, the allegations have prevented him from being enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Though Clemens received 61.6% of the vote from baseball writers in the most recent selection, he fell short of the required 70% threshold. To gain induction, he would need to be elected through the Today’s Game Committee, a process that has become increasingly controversial within the baseball community. Trump’s intervention has reignited discussions about the Hall of Fame’s criteria and the influence of public opinion on its selection process.
