PawSox enshrine Clemens into Hall
PAWTUCKET, R.I. — The Pawtucket Red Sox have inducted Roger Clemens into their hall of fame.
The Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox honored the seven-time Cy Young winner in a ceremony before Friday night’s game against the Indianapolis Indians.
Ex-teammates Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd, Rich Gedman and Tommy Harper joined Clemens on the field, where he was presented with a pair of commemorative prints and framed baseballs to mark the two 20-strikeout games he pitched in the major leagues.
Clemens took time out to remember another former teammate, Bill Buckner, who died last month.
World Cup round of 16 has no sellouts
PARIS — Data from FIFA shows none of the round of 16 games at the Women’s World Cup in France has sold out.
In details provided to The Associated Press, FIFA says around 900,000 tickets have been sold overall to the “general public and fans around the world.”
Two weeks ago, FIFA initially announced it had sold 1 million tickets before withdrawing the claim after acknowledging the total included team staff, media and VIPs at games.
FIFA says only five games in the knockout stage are sold out: two quarterfinals, both semifinals and the championship game.
