Simone Manuel and Roger Clemens to Visit Constellation Field

(SUGAR LAND, Texas) – The Sugar Land Skeeters will be hosting nights to honor Olympic swimmer – and Sugar Land native – Simone Manuel and former Skeeters Roger Clemens during their upcoming homestand against the Las Vegas Aviators at Constellation Field.

The Skeeters will be honoring Manuel during their Friday night game, beginning at 7:05 p.m., by giving out bobbleheads depicting the former gold-medalist to the first 1,500 fans in attendance. Manuel will also be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch for the game. Manuel, who attended Fort Bend Austin High School in Sugar Land, recently competed in the Tokyo Summer Olympics, winning a bronze medal in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay.

Roger and Koby Clemens will be in attendance for the Skeeters’ game at 6:05 p.m. on Saturday, commemorating the 10-year anniversary of Roger’s final professional appearance, which came on September 7, 2012, with the Skeeters, and featured his son, Koby, as the catcher for the game. The Skeeters will be giving away a bronze statue depicting Roger and Koby from the appearance, with both also set to throw out a ceremonial first pitch. Roger and Koby will be available to the media following the first pitch.
