I doubt Roger will close the season pitching in Pittsburgh. Since for him every year is possibly his last, the Astros will probably observe his unusual arrangement by closing his run in Houston rather than on the road (playoff possibilities excepted). Clemens has changed the career options of pitchers, as King has written previously, by making himself available for a shorter time so he can continue to be competitive. He has World Series rings and Cy Young plaques, so I don't think he's too disappointed at collecting a few extra million dollars in relative comfort while still being able to pitch in the big leagues when most other pitchers with his time of service would have retired already.
