Ugliest moments of 2002

[Ronin]

8. Shawn Estes vs. Roger Clemens
The anticipation was high for a knockdown pitch with Clemens at the plate against a Mets pitcher for the first time since the Mike Piazza bat-throwing incident two years prior in the World Series. And what does Estes do? Throws so far behind Clemens that the Rocket smirks back in return. We're not sure what Estes should have done, but we're sure it wasn't that.

that was one of my favorite things, ever. Me and my friend were watching the game and just started cracking up. god, the mets suck.

I think he didn't want to hit him. He wanted to send a message saying "I could hit you if i want to, but i am not going to do it since i would get thrown out". Estes threw it to just scare him. Clemens is a dick anyway.
