U.S. President Donald Trump is once again weighing in on Major League Baseball controversies, this time calling for legendary pitcher Roger Clemens to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner and one of the most dominant pitchers in MLB history, has long faced scrutiny over allegations of performance-enhancing drug use—claims he has consistently denied.
Trump voiced his support on Truth Social just one day before the Hall of Fame’s Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee was set to announce its newest inductees. The committee evaluates players who are no longer eligible for election through the Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA). Clemens is one of eight candidates on this year’s ballot, along with fellow MLB icon Barry Bonds, who has faced similar PED accusations.
In his post, Trump dismissed the allegations against Clemens as “erroneous,” arguing that unproven claims should not overshadow Clemens’ historic achievements on the mound. Trump wrote that Clemens’ exclusion from Cooperstown is rooted in “rumors and innuendo,” despite the pitcher’s 2012 acquittal on federal charges accusing him of lying to Congress about PED use during a 2008 inquiry.
Clemens and Bonds were both named in the 2007 Mitchell Report, a key document in MLB’s investigation into illegal drug use. Clemens has firmly maintained his innocence, while Bonds has stated he never knowingly used banned substances. Despite their extraordinary careers, both players failed to reach the required 75% vote during their BBWAA eligibility period. Clemens topped out at 65.2% in 2022.
Trump has previously advocated for other controversial baseball legends, including all-time hits leader Pete Rose, who spent decades banned from MLB for gambling. Trump noted earlier this year that MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred lifted Rose’s ban following a meeting between the two.
As debates over legacy, ethics, and Hall of Fame standards continue, Trump’s remarks have reignited public discussion surrounding two of baseball’s most polarizing figures.
