On Saturday night, the Savannah Bananas achieved a historic first by participating in their first-ever Major League stadium game. Additionally, visitors to Minute Maid Park in Houston were treated to an extra treat.
In the second inning, Clemens, an 11-time All-Star who pitched for the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees, and his home team, the Houston Astros, took the mound for the Bananas. He won at least one Cy Young with each team and seven in total.

In response to the tweet, Clemens expressed his gratitude for the chance with a “Thank you.”
Though the Bananas May have attended their first Major League Stadium on Saturday night at Minute Maid Park, it won’t be their last.
This year, Savannah still has five more MLB sites scheduled: Fenway Park in Boston on June 8, Washington’s Nationals Park on July 13, Progressive Field in Cleveland on August 10, Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on September 21, and loanDepot Park in Miami on October 12.
