“Prosecutor Says Clemens Obsessed Over Legacy” is an article in the NYT about baseball player Roger Clemens who is being charged for using performance-enhancement drugs. Roger Clemens also “is charged with obstruction of Congress, making fase statements and perjury in connection with his testimony to a House committee in 2008” Clemens according to his prosecutor did so to maintain his status as one of the greatest pitchers to play the sport of baseball.
Clemens like most people is worried about how he is perceived by those who acknowledge him as a great baseball player and did whatever he could to maintain his high status, which unfortunately for him, led him to lose respect of many after admitting that he had used performance-enhancing drugs.
