Gates open at 1 p.m with the pregame ceremonies beginning around 3:15 p.m.
A seven-time Cy Young Award winner, Clemens spent 13 seasons with the Boston Red Sox . He's one of five pitcher to amass 20 strikeouts in a nine-inning game.
Clemens is the only pitcher to accomplish that feat twice.
Three of Clemens' seven Cy Young Awards came while he was with the Red Sox . The right-hander also won the American League MVP in 1986.
The WooSox went 76-73 in 2025. They saw the promotions of Roman Anthony , Marcelo Mayer , Payton Tolle and Connelly Early last season. Anthony and Mayer are likely locks for Boston's Opening Day roster , while Tolle and Early will fight for a spot in the very crowded rotation.
