    Being a Red Sox fan since the early 80s I watched Clemens & Pedro, and they were definitely both head hunters. I remember after Clemens gave up back 2 back homers he drilled John Shelby with the next pitch who charged Clemens with bat in hand, good thing catcher John Marzano was able to tackle Shelby before he reached the mound. The intentional drillings, often up high, were dangerous given how hard they threw, but the fear they instilled in the hitters worked for them.

    You can see there's a moment where Clemens realizes what he's doing, and he just kind of tosses the bat low. He looks at first like he's going to throw it as hard as he can at him, but then his body language just shifts. It's subtle, but you can see it. I think he was reacting with emotions, like when it happened, I think his instincts just kicked in, and he thought he was being attacked or something. I don't know any rational reason why he would do that.
    Clemens was delusional or something I think, he thought Piazza was starting with him, and that he purposely got hit in the head, so there you go.

    As a kid I played catcher one season in little league cause we were having trouble getting bases stolen on us (which abruptly ended when I was pulled from short to play behind the plate for my first and only time ever) and at that brief period in my childhood Mike Piazza was my favorite catcher. He played the game really well bury with the bat and glove and he came off as a class act to an naive kid who doesn’t know any better. Also there was no internet or social media so unless you had ESPN or read the newspaper you didn’t hear about this kinda off the field stuff. Just what happened during a game.

      I'm a Dodger fan, and I was a kid when Piazza was with us so I root for his side in this. But I don't think Clemens meant to throw the bat at Piazza, and he knew it looked bad on him. He definitely meant to bean Piazza though, and I think he is a sack of crap.

    Mike will never admit it, he is very smart, he has this business type look even when he played, he probably didn’t tip but studied the scouting report and asked Roger to pitch to the batter’s strenght. That all star game was the worst beating of Roger Clemen’s career. That all star game you forgot to mention that. Was in Houston, Roger Clemens had ads out was being advertised as a hero, he had a phenomenal season going for him. The fans of 30 teams and then some more were watching. It was the perfect stage to absolutely embarrass Roger Clemens. But we won’t hear this until Piazza is probably 92. It just doesn’t make sense that Clemens was that good that year except for the ASG.
