BASEBALL AND COUNTRY MUSIC: AN AMERICAN AFFAIR

Talk about a shocker!!!

Disgraced baseball star Roger Clemens and disgraced country singer Mindy McCready had a 10-year affair that started when she was 15 and he was 28 and married.

The revelations could torpedo claims of an unsullied character that are central to the defamation suit Clemens filed Jan. 6 against his former personal trainer Brian McNamee. Vivid details of the affair could surface in several media projects that McCready is involved with - including a documentary that begins filming today in Nashville, a new album and a reality show.

For Clemens’ part, he says they were just friends.

“He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her,” Hardin said. “He’s considered her a close family friend. … He has never had a sexual relationship with her.”

Nor surprisingly, McCready, whose career has suffered a series of legal and personal setbacks, is now preparing a comeback and is set to start filming a documentary about her life, which could include revelations about her relationship with Clemens.

Juuuuuuuicy!
