“I Want This Guy On My Side!” – WWE Legend Iron Sheik and MLB Icon Roger Clemens Share a Laugh

Trust us when we say, Twitter can really throw up some gems. Roger Clemens recently found himself in an entertaining exchange with the Iron Sheik. While the lockout is holding back any and every baseball news, Twitter is truly allowing it to explode. And while the engagement on Twitter is not vastly engaging, it does throw up some true entertainers from time to time.

The pitcher recently took to Twitter to ask for a new account he could follow and continue growing his online presence. And Twitter did not disappoint. The internet is famous for anyone being able to do truly anything and in that we have the interaction of the holiday season.

The interaction on Twitter

The pitcher tweeted that he wanted to get more involved on social media and was looking for accounts to follow. And then, in a not entirely unexpected move, asked for suggestions from his followers; The MLB veteran making a rookie Twitter mistake.

Needless to say, he received a lot of interesting suggestions, including from various accounts on Twitter, not necessarily famous for their thought-out and well-constructed takes. Among those who replied to his tweet was the former professional wrestler, the Iron Sheik.

Clemens seemed to take it all on a lighter note too, though. Immediately expressing his thanks, “I want this guy in my corner,” tweeted Clemens.

The pitcher seemed content with the interactions for the day, happy to have found his fair share of interesting accounts. We don’t know about Clemens, but there is one more account that we are going to be following for sure.
