Roger Clemens Apologizes for 'Mistakes'

John Eagan

NEW YORK (AP) - Roger Clemens is apologizing for unspecified mistakes in his personal life.
But the seven-time Cy Young Award winner steadfastly denies having an affair with a teenager.
     The Daily News reported last week that Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy McCready that began when she was 15 and an aspiring singer.
     The newspaper also linked Clemens to a former Manhattan bartender and a former wife of golfer John Daly.
     In a statement issued by spokesman Patrick Dorton, Clemens says, "Even though these articles contain many false accusations and mistakes, I need to say that I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry."             
     The statement continues, "I have apologized to my family and apologize to my fans. Like everyone, I have flaws.
     I have sometimes made choices which have not been right."
     Clemens continues to deny Brian McNamee's accusations in the Mitchell Report that he used performance-enhancing drugs, before players and owners agreed to ban them from baseball.
     He'd already filed a defamation suit against his former trainer.
