From today's Globe and Mail:
NEW YORK — Roger Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy McCready that began when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and the pitcher was a Boston Red Sox ace, the Daily News reported.
Clemens's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, confirmed a long-term relationship but told the newspaper it was not sexual.
"He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her," Hardin said. "He's considered her a close family friend. ... He has never had a sexual relationship with her."
_______________The newspaper said Clemens sent cash to McCready to help her with legal issues and reached out to her when she was in jail last year in Tennessee.
The 32-year-old McCready was sentenced last September for violating probation from a 2004 drug arrest and was released from jail last Dec. 30. The violation occurred in July when McCready was accused of scuffling with her mother and resisting arrest at her mother's home in Fort Myers, Fla. She still must serve two years' probation.
McCready had a No. 1 single in 1996 with "Guys Do It All the Time." (No reference to the above photo of Clemens and unknown playmate, we're assuming. - Ed.)
Sounds like there's lyrics to a hit country song in there somewhere . . . .

Maybe you want to go join the Clemens bashing over at Joy of Sox. There's plenty to go around. No love for "Fat Billy from Ohio" over there...
McCready is practically the template of Britney Spears, but with an abusive relationship thrown in, and more jail time. She used to date Dean Cain (Superman on TV) and now just has court dates it seems. Pretty sad anyway how her life turned out after mid-90s success.
"He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her,"
Sorry, but after the steroid fiasco I don't put much stock into his denials.
