HOUSTON -- Seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, who spent three of his 24 seasons playing for his hometown Astros, saw a small surge in his Hall of Fame voting numbers unveiled Wednesday, but remained well short of the 75 percent needed for induction.
Clemens, in his sixth year on the ballot, appeared on 57.3 percent of the ballots in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, which is a slight uptick from the 54.1 percent he received last year. A player can appear on the Hall of Fame ballot for 10 years.
