Roger Clemens attends sons season opener.

A famous name is playing for the AVS this season. Roger Clemens' son Koby is the catcher.

Fans welcomed Koby to Salem Friday with open arms.

"It's really exciting because I've seen him on TV and I've checked out his stats, and they're really impressive," said fan David Dillard.

The Rocket himself was also at the game Friday night.

News7's Justin McLeod found Roger Clemens in the gift shop just before the game. He went up to him and asked for an interview. Clemens politely declined saying he may do one next week, which may be an indication that Clemens plans to be here for awhile.

Clemens signed plenty of autographs. When he came out of the gift shop, he remarked to us-- now that he had an Avs hat, he was ready to go.

"No, it never hurts to have a big name like that," said general manager John Katz.
