The reality is that my stepfather

was like a father to me and watching

him die from a sudden heart attack

was one of the hardest things I have

ever gone through.

A Retrospective on the Incredible Career of Roger Clemens: A Look Back at a Legendary Pitcher (part2)

As a young pitcher, Clemens was known for his intense work ethic and competitive drive. He was determined to be the best and put in countless hours of training and preparation to achieve his goals. He often pushed himself to the limit in games, throwing with incredible speed and accuracy.

Clemens’ fastball was his signature pitch, and he could throw it consistently at speeds over 95 miles per hour. He also had a devastating splitter and a slider that he used to keep hitters off balance. He was known for his ability to dominate games, and he set several records during his career, including the record for most strikeouts in a nine-inning game.

Throughout his career, Clemens had several memorable moments, including his 20-strikeout game against the Seattle Mariners in 1986 and his World Series championship with the Yankees in 1999. He was also named to the All-Star team 11 times. Clemens played for several teams throughout his career, including the Red Sox, the Toronto Blue Jays, the New York Yankees, and the Houston Astros. He retired from baseball in 2007 with a career record of 354 wins and 184 losses, a 3.12 ERA, and 4,672 strikeouts.

Despite his accomplishments on the field, Clemens’ reputation has been tarnished by allegations of performance-enhancing drug use. He has denied the allegations, and his case has been the subject of much controversy and debate within the baseball community. Clemens’ legacy has been clouded by allegations of performance-enhancing drug use. He was named in the 2007 Mitchell Report, which detailed the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, and was later indicted on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice related to his testimony before Congress on the matter. Clemens was acquitted of all charges in 2012.

Overall, Roger Clemens was a dominant force on the mound, known for his fierce competitiveness and incredible talent as a pitcher. Despite the controversy surrounding his legacy, his contributions to the game of baseball cannot be denied.

Jake Cronenworth hit a tiebreaking, two-run…

~ Helen Keller ~

Helen Keller (colorized)

Miss Helen Keller - Portrait US Library of Congress

Helen Keller was an author, lecturer, suffragists and crusader for the handicapped. Born in Tuscumbia, Alabama, She lost her sight and hearing at the age of nineteen months to an illness now believed to have been scarlet fever. Five years later, on the advice of Alexander Graham Bell, her parents applied to the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston for a teacher, and from that school hired Anne Mansfield Sullivan.

Through Sullivan’s extraordinary instruction, the little girl learned to understand and communicate with the world around her. She went on to acquire an excellent education and to become an important influence on the treatment of the blind and deaf.

Her unprecedented accomplishments in overcoming her disabilities made her a celebrity at an early age; at twelve she published an autobiographical sketch in the Youth’s Companion, and during her junior year at Radcliffe, she produced her first book, The Story of My Life, still in print in over fifty languages.

Painting of Keller's colorized portrait by Wayne Pascall

Her friendship with Mark Twain

"Helen Keller, Miss Sullivan, Mark Twain and Laurence Hutton."

“From that day until his death we were friends,” Keller recalled later. She was already a fan of his work and thrilled to his deep voice and his many hand gestures, which she followed with her own fingertips. She wrote of him:

"He entered into my limited world with enthusiasm just as he might have explored Mars. Blindness was an adventure that kindled his curiosity. He treated me not as a freak, but as a handicapped woman seeking a way to circumvent extraordinary difficulties. There was something of divine apprehension in this rare naturalness towards those who differ from others in external circumstances."

Helen Keller with Mark Twain - Twain came to Keller’s defense, after reading in her book about a plagiarism scandal that occurred in 1892 when, at only twelve years old, she was accused of lifting her short story “The Frost King” from Margaret Canby’s “Frost Fairies.” Though a tribunal acquitted Keller of the charges, the incident still pissed off Twain. The letter is attached to the photo above

Letters between Mark Twain and Helen Keller.

Though Helen hailed from a respectable Southern family, 19th-century America was flummoxed by the prospect of teaching a deaf-blind girl to talk, read, and learn. Helen’s tutor and governess, Annie Sullivan, fought for her admission to various schools that offered special education. But the cost of educating someone like Helen was high. Clemens wrote to a rich friend on her behalf:

"It won’t do for America to allow this marvelous child to retire from her studies because of poverty. If she can go on with them she will make a fame that will endure in history for centuries. Along her special illness she is the most extraordinary product of all the ages…lay siege to your husband & get him to interest himself and Messrs. John D. & William Rockefeller & the other Standard Oil chiefs in Helen’s case; get them to subscribe an annual aggregate of six or seven hundred or a thousand dollars- & agree to continue this for three or four years, until she has completed her college course…."

Thanks to his intervention, the support of his friend Henry Rogers and Standard Oil, Helen was able to complete her education and graduate cum laude from Harvard’s Radcliffe College. Clemens and Keller remained friends for the rest of his life. They shared an interest in radical politics and a love for life despite their different temperaments. Helen, an avowed optimist, often made fun of Clemens for his avowed pessimism, telling him she didn’t believe a word of his sardonic jokes. As for Clemens, Chambliss writes that he felt she was one of the most important historical figures of all time, “the most wondrous person of her sex that has existed on this earth since Joan of Arc.”

Keller, Sullivan, Twain, & Sullivan’s husband John Macy above at Twain’s home

We also have Twain—not playwright William Gibson—to thank for the “miracle worker” title given to Keller’s teacher, Anne Sullivan. As a tribute to Sullivan for her tireless work with Keller, he presented her with a postcard that read, “To Mrs. John Sullivan Macy with warm regard & with limitless admiration of the wonders she has performed as a ‘miracle-worker.’” In his 1903 letter to Keller, he called Sullivan “your other half… for it took the pair of you to make complete and perfect whole.”

Twain was especially impressed by Keller’s autobiography, writing to her, “I am charmed with your book—enchanted.” (See his endorsement in a 1903 advertisement, above.)

Keller & Clemens also shared a love of dogs

Widely honored throughout the world and invited to the White House by every U.S. president from Grover Cleveland to Lyndon B. Johnson, Keller altered the world’s perception of the capacities of the handicapped. More than any act in her long life, her courage, intelligence, and dedication combined to make her a symbol of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.
