Just what the title says.

Roger Clemens has an unusual superstition. Since the game in 1986 when he struck out 20 batters, he has taped a 1920 penny to his right buttock. In 1996 he again struck out 20 batters, and started taping another penny to his left buttock. He has only missed this ritual once. In June 2000, he left the pennies in his hotel room, so he paid a clubhouse trainer $1000 to draw pictures of the pennies on his butt. He only went 1 1/3 innings that day and gave up 7 runs.
