Clemens, 50, says he has been throwing about 87 mph in workouts, and the presumption is that this is the first step in a comeback attempt rather than purely a publicity stunt.

"I'm nowhere close to being ready for Major League Baseball," Clemens told SI.com's Mel Antonen. "I'm been running and working out, but there's a big difference between that and getting ready to pitch in a big-league game. ... I have retired and un-retired a number of times, so I know what it takes."
