Roger Clemens’ Former Personal Trainer, Brian McNamee, Covers Steroids Scandal in His Upcoming Autobiography

NEW YORK, Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ — A new book by the man at the center of one of professional sports’ biggest scandals and controversies will be released just in time for Major League Baseball’s 2010 season.

Death, Taxes, and Mac: Brian McNamee in His Own Words, by Brian McNamee with Marc Zappulla, will be released February 17, 2010 the very same day the world champion New York Yankees will begin to defend their title by having pitchers and catchers report for the first day of spring training in Tampa, Florida.

Brian McNamee, the former personal strength and conditioning coach for the former pitching legend, Roger Clemens (Red Sox, Yanks, Blue Jays, Astros), penned the book to reveal his side as it relates to the Clemens steroids controversy. His tome poignantly tells the life story of Brian, and how the once-promising Archbishop Molloy High School (Queens, NY) All-Star and St. John’s University standout fell short of his professional baseball dream. We learn how he seemingly came out of nowhere to join the Yankees in the mid-1990s as a batting practice pitcher and bullpen catcher that would later lead to him becoming the head strength and conditioning coach for the Toronto Blue Jays (and meeting Clemens).

He sheds light on what really goes on amongst ballplayers, on and off the baseball diamond, from 1993 – 2007. Scores of stories are presented with the humor and insight only afforded an insider. Brian offers a rare glimpse from the clubhouse with a vantage point hardly heard from: the training room.

The book represents Brian’s first full-length, in-depth account of his place in baseball history when it comes to his relationship with Clemens. In his own words, Brian shows us how a once-decorated undercover officer with the New York Police Department found himself almost on the wrong side of the law when he testified before Congress against Clemens.
