I write a symposium on booing and I forget to mention Roger Clemens?Well I knew there was a reason. I was waiting for a special occasion...and here it is. Like a gift from the lords of baseball.
Roger Clemens: the ultimate April Fool. Boo!
Update: In what is unbelievably the only other google result of this story, this link from the Houston Chronicle clarifies what Clemens said, and it seems that Clemens was talking about one specific dry cleaner, and not in fact painting them with broad starch.

I gaurantee you won't hear ANYTHING about his quote because Roger Clemens is such a folk hero and because he's white.
If Barry Bonds said some shit like that, i'd be a WRAP for him.
My grandfather was a dry cleaner in Jackson Heights. If he were still with us, I would have asked him to please pour benzene all over the Rocket's shirts. And his father-in-law, the tailor-in-residence, would have chased Clemens with a pair of shears clear out onto Roosevelt Avenue.
(Seriously, they tell me he was crazy as a loon, but in this case his behavior would be condoned.)
What's your problem with Hebner?
That list is like "one of these things is not like the others!"
Did I miss something besides the X connection?
Tom, who writes for the Rangers, had some choice words for Clemens

"Clemens made yet another appearance at the Ballpark in Arlington. Does this guy just want free food or something? SH#% OR GET OFF THE POT! I personally believe this guy just wants to see how much free crap Hicks will give him. At this point, I could care less wheather or not this guy signs or not."
Mets fans aren't the only fans who hate him
Tommy,
Yeah it was a stretch, but Hebner did give Mets fans the finger once if I'm not mistaken.
True, well when in doubt there is always Clemens, Cedeno & Rocker to hate.
Oh yeah by the way, Keith is the new FRANdimonium!
Between the fur coat & the corny comments....whew
Nats 9, Mets 4.
Well, we can conclude that experiment now. Better to get it out of the way, I say. JJ can head to AAA.
meet the mets, it's rather frightening that my first thought also involved killing. what strange passions crappy relief pitchers can stir in us, in game #2 no less!
but like i said, it's better to get rid of him now than to have him stink up several more games in a less obvious manner.
You can count on the booing to stop now that Carlos Beltran leads the Mets in ROBs (runs-on-balks).
haha kyle i agree with u on both comments... i'd write a blog but its 11:30 n i gotta go to skool n take a test tomorrow... ill probably write one tomorrow
