Rangers fall to Boston 7-3; Clemens at Ameriquest Field


The Rangers fell to the Boston Red Sox 7-3 today in the season opener.
And former University of Texas pitcher, Roger Clemens, was also in attendance.
Wearing jeans and gray cowboy boots, Clemens attended as a guest of Rangers owner Tom Hicks, a fellow University of Texas alumnus. The Longhorns' national football championship was honored at the game.
Before the start, the 43-year-old Rocket spoke with to general manager Theo Epstein and other officials from the Red Sox, the team he started his career with. Clemens said they just told him the door was open if he wanted to return to Boston.
The Red Sox, Rangers, New York Yankees and Houston Astros - the hometown team Clemens helped lead to their first World Series last season - are all interested in signing Clemens if he decides to pitch this season.
Clemens told reporters he is still planning on retiring, but the door is still open to the idea of playing for the Rangers or another team.
