Oh to be in Tampa...

...now that 9 inches of snow have fallen; followed by freezing rain. It also created some technical difficulties for us; hence no posts yesterday. It was definitely the kind of day that made us wish we were down in spring training. Plenty went on yesterday though. And no we just don't mean J-Lo giving birth to twins. Though she too has been annoyed by the papparazzi.

A photograph owned by an 11-yr old could bring down Roger Clemens. Or more precisely, a then 11-yr old. A report came out yesterday that a Florida family is in possession of a photo of Clemens that was taken at the infamous Canseco house party in 1998.

The family apparently contacted Brian McNamee's lawyer, Richard Emery, with the information. The photo in question is hanging on a wall in the unnamed family's home.

"The boy remembers the party," Emery said. "He's 10 years older now, but it was the only time he was ever at Canseco's house. And all the baseball players were there. It was a big event in this kid's life. He has this picture on his wall, both pictures on his wall. He kept those pictures.

"The mother remembers dropping him off at 1:30 and picking him up two hours later. And Clemens was still at the party. It was very clear, but they didn't want to give us the picture because they were all concerned. Apparently he's a baseball player in college, draft-eligible perhaps. They were very worried about this picture affecting this kid's life."

Now whether or not the photo can be proven to have been taken on the same exact day remains to be seen. Even a timestamp is not necessarily concrete proof.
