Greenstein Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Associated Press CRAIG, Colo. -- Astros pitcher Roger Clemens was asked to leave a youth baseball game over the weekend for arguing a close call that went against his son's team. Clemens was at the game Saturday watching his son, Kacy, compete in a 10-and-under game organized by Triple Crown Sports when Clemens contested a call at second base that went against the Katy Cowboys. He spit sunflower seeds at an umpire's leg and was asked to leave, said Jim Carpenter, a field supervisor with Triple Crown. "I supported the umpire's decision and he [Clemens] respectfully left," Carpenter told the Craig Daily Press. Katy lost the game 11-5 to the Bakersfield Curve. Triple Crown Sports features a franchise system aimed at pitting top teams from across the country against each other. Clemens' agent, Randy Hendricks, did not immediately return a call Monday. Clemens has racked up 322 wins and 4,240 strikeouts in his 21-year major league career.
