Reggie Jackson said yes for a radio interview on WFAN 660 AM in New York, Tuesday, just to clarify some things regarding the issue about Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens. The baseball enthusiast first explained that the two who has been on the news because of the alleged intake of performance enhancing substances, like steroids in particular, are actually his friends.

He is definitely not happy with what’s going on with the two, particularly with the the seven-time Cy Young Award winner who still denies taking performance-enhancing substances.

Jackson said, “I don’t like it”, and that, “he’s still my friend. I hope that goes away in a positive fashion. I don’t like it, the way it stands. I’d love to see Rocket just say something that would make us all more comfortable, because he’s a great pitcher and we all still love him”.

Way back in 2007, through the Mitchell Report on steroid use in baseball, Clemens’ name was dragged into the controversy of steroid use in baseball, along with that of Brian McNamee’s. McNamee, the former trainer, stated that he injected Clemens, and they met in front of Congress in Feb. 2008, where Clemens swore under oath that he had never tried to take steroids.

Jackson talked to Clemens couple of weeks ago. And recently, he said that, “I’ve always liked Rocket and he’s really a funny guy with a tremendous sense of humor”, and that, “he makes me laugh and roll on the ground when I’m with him, so I do not hold it against him what he did. It is a scar that has certainly healed for me and I’m going to continue to be his friend”.

Jackson also became specific with regards to steroids and the players involved, and said that, “I am bothered by what happened with steroids and all the other enhancement drugs, but I know that players did it”, and that, “I do say to myself, ‘Well, he’s not quite the same,’ but Alex Rodriguez is a friend of mine, to use him as an example, and so is Roger Clemens. I admire these guys and I love them”.
