 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Although Roger Clemens was here, the Texas Rangers had another Longhorn throw out the ceremonial opening pitch of their season — football coach Mack Brown.
"We discussed whether Roger or I should throw it in," Brown said before taking the mound. "The catcher voted for me."
Actually, Rangers owner/prominent Texas booster Tom Hicks invited Brown and the program's championship-winning forefather Darrell Royal to be the latest "Texas Heroes" making the honorary toss prior to Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Clemens being here, too, was only a bonus.
