MINNEAPOLIS — Kody Clemens is accustomed to seeing his famous father receive rock star treatment any time he’s at Fenway Park. Yet even the Minnesota Twins first baseman is excited for this weekend.With the Twins in Boston to start a three-game series Friday night, the Boston Red Sox are honoring pitcher Roger Clemens by giving away 7,500 bobbleheads to commemorate the 40th anniversary of his 20-strikeout game.It’s far from the first time the Red Sox will have honored Roger Clemens, whom they inducted into the team Hall of Fame in August 2014. But Friday’s giveaway is the first time the franchise is celebrating “The Rocket” before a game in which his son could also play.“They had to have planned this,” Kody Clemens said. “I knew they were going to do a bobblehead. But to pick the same weekend?”Whether or not the youngest of Roger Clemens’ four sons is in the lineup Friday remains to be seen; left-hander Payton Tolle is scheduled to start for Boston and Kody Clemens bats from the left side.But with Kody Clemens playing as well as he is at bat and on defense, he’s expected to play this weekend in Boston. That would mark only the second time Kody Clemens will have played in his father’s old Beantown stomping grounds after he participated in two games for the Twins in May 2025.
