Roger Clemens’ 10-Year Affair With Mindy McCready?

2008 is not a good year for Roger Clemens.

If the steroid abuse scandal and ensuing war with ex-trainer Brian McNamee put  Clemens in the hot seat, the allegations that he had a 10-year affair with Mindy McCready should make those congressional hearings seem like a bachelor party.

The rumor is that country croonerette/jailbird and parole violator McCready embarked on a relationship with the 7-time Cy Young Winner when she was—eep!—just 15 years old.

Here’s a picture of the delicate flower after she was arrested for allegedly assaulting her mother:

But was there any hanky panky? Or was the train wreck blonde songstress, who sometimes traveled with Clemens (and with Debbie Clemens‘ knowledge, apparently), just a good family friend?

The he said, she said has already started. Get ready for claws, denials, and backpedaling galore.
