On Saturday, October 2nd, Alek and his baseball teammates got to meet Roger Clemens and have batting practice with him at his home. Alek's coach played high school ball with Clemens, and the two have remained friends!
Alek and the boys met him, warmed up with him, and then he pitched several balls to each boy. He gave Alek a tip about his swing that Alek said makes a huge difference. Too cool.
And what did Alek have to say to Mr. Clemens? What else?!? "I saw you on Mythbusters!" Yep. He had something to talk to him about as he'd seen the episode on which Clemens helps the guys test out some old baseball myths. And so finally, all those hours spent watching Mythbusters paid off!

Seriously. What an awesome experience for Alek. Im impressed with the slide show post, by the way.
