The Roger
Clemens Award is in its fourth year of existence, and was
named after future Hall of Famer Roger Clemens, who began
his march to stardom while leading the University of Texas
to the College World Series title in 1983. As a major
leaguer, Clemens has won 348 games (eighth best in history),
fanned more than 4,600 hitters and won seven Cy Young
Awards, emblematic as the top pitcher in his league. The
Roger Clemens Award is the only award of its kind, honoring
the finest pitchers in college baseball. The event is
administered by the Greater Houston Baseball Association,
which has donated more than $300,000 to the charities from
the net proceeds from the first three dinners. The GHBA is a
non-profit 501.3 (C) organization dedicated to the growth of
amateur baseball in the Houston area. |
