  newser | Boston Globe | Dec 20, 07 8:40 AM CST
  
  If Roger Clemens doesn’t fight to clear his name, then he’s guilty in Curt Schilling’s book, and his post-1997 stats should be cleared from the record books. “There aren’t many options as a fan other than to believe his career 192 wins and 3 Cy Youngs he won prior to 1997 were the end,” Schilling wrote on his blog.

Sabathia led the majors in innings pitched with 241, and became the first African-American pitcher to win the award since Dwight Gooden in 1985.

It's more than a sports allegiance. It's a lifestyle,” said the Cubs' president after a visit to Boston, reports the Chicago Tribune . More »
