Roger Clemens will be rejoining the New York Yankees, the pitcher announced during a game at Yankee Stadium against the Seattle Mariners.

At the end of the seventh-inning stretch, Yankees public address announcer Bob Sheppard told fans to turn their attention to the box, where Clemens was standing with a microphone.


As the video scoreboard in right-center televised Clemens, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner made the announcement himself.

"It's a privilege to be back," he said.

The fans erupted with cheers, with many yanking out their cellphones to spread the news.

In an interview during the game, Clemens said "everything happened so fast," and that he hopes to make his first start by the end of the month.

The Yankees are scheduled to start a series in Boston against the Red Sox on June 1.

He credited one factor in his return to the close friendships he maintains with several Yankee players, including Derek Jeter, who he said has been calling him "once a week."
