Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez spent much of their careers in Boston and then New York teams. Both are considered to be dominant pitchers who helped their respective teams to victory on numerous occasions.

Clemens has a win-loss record of 354 – 184, while Martinez’s figure is 219 – 100.

Clemens is responsible for 4672 strikeouts in his career, while Martinez achieved 3154 strikeouts. Moreover, Clemens has won 7 Cy Young Awards while Martinez has won 3.

While Martinez was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015, Clemens will never make it into Cooperstown as he failed to get the required votes in his tenth and final year on the ballot, to the dismay of his fans. Allegations of steroid use may have put the Hall of Fame out of his grasp.
