Clemens mystery solved

My mom called this morning to tell me that she gave me the Roger Clemens ball.

She worked with Clemens's sister at the time and got a signed ball as a 50th birthday present for her nephew-in-law in Toronto. Clemens pitched for Toronto at the time. All the men at his party went ga-ga over it, so my mom asked for and received another ball for each of her three sons.

I have absolutely no memory of the gift.

Bonus "Futurama" tidbit:

TV Squad has an interview with Matt Groening on the show's rebirth:

"We have a really funny run about being cancelled; it's a metaphor for being cancelled; it's very funny."

(Wow, what cool blockquote code.)
