An angry Roger Clemens told Mike Wallace he will never pitch again in an interview aired tonight on ?60 Minutes."

The 45-year-old pitcher defended himself against allegations he used steroids and human growth hormone but said he is so frustrated he is through with baseball.

?I understand that as a public person, you're gonna take some shots," Clemens said. ?The higher you get up on the flagpole, the more your butt shows. And I understand all that. But I'm tired of answering to ?em. That's why I will not ever play again. I don't want to answer to it. I want to slide off and be just a citizen."

Wallace replied, ?You're retiring? Period."

Clemens said, ?Probably. I would say, yeah. If I sit here and tell you right now, I would say yes."

Wallace said, ?You're not going to pitch again?"

?You'll never see me pitch again," said Clemens, who has retired before several times only to return.
