I take it athlete endorsements weren’t quite as lucrative in 1987 as they are now. How else can you explain a towel-clad Roger Clemens, fresh off a stellar 1986 season where he won the CY Young and AL MVP awards, prancing around a locker room lip-syncing the Zest soap jingle?
Then again, ballplayers weren’t making the exorbitant salaries back in ’87 that they are now, so maybe “The Rocket” did it for the soap money—oh yeah, there’s boatloads of money in soap, and Zest has deep pockets.
Anyone else find a certain bit of irony in seeing Roger Clemens sing lip-sync about being clean? Anyone? Anyone at all?
