A lot changes in a quarter-century. Just ask Roger Clemens. Exactly 25 years ago today, the Rocket made history by striking out a record 20 Seattle Mariners in nine innings.

Clemens' athletic display ranks up there with Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game, Mark Messier's 1994 Eastern Conference Finals hat trick, and Adrian Peterson's 297-yard single-game rushing record.
