MIDLAND, Texas — Get ready for Clemens vs. Clemens.

Roger Clemens is expected to pitch against his son, Koby, on Wednesday night in the Home Run Derby before the Texas League All-Star Game in Midland.

Because of the format, the Rocket will actually be trying to let his son take him deep as often as possible.

Koby is among eight batters. It's not clear how many others his dad will face.

Koby is a first baseman for the Houston Astros' Double-A affiliate in Corpus Christi. He is second in the league in home runs (16) and RBIs (53). Once it looked like he would be an All-Star, Roger Clemens called event organizers and offered to take part.
