President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening announced he will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to former MLB pitcher Roger Clemens.

Trump revealed the former pitcher would receive the country’s highest civilian honor during a rally for Senate nominee Ken Paxton in Texas. Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner and two-time World Series champion raised in Houston who played on teams such as the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, introduced Trump at the San Antonio rally, hailing the president as “a man that loves our country, that puts all of us first, and puts America first.”
