has calluses older than McCann. The kid was 83 days old when Clemens broke in with the Red Sox. He was still in diapers when Clemens won his first Cy Young Award (1986). He went through puberty and had already discovered the joys of being a young man laboring in Rome and Myrtle Beach by the time Clemens had Nos. 2-7.
