BASEBALL

CLEMENS DEFAMATION CASE: Former major league pitcher Roger Clemens and his onetime strength coach came face-to-face Tuesday in a bid to settle their long-running legal dispute, but they left their closed-door meeting without a deal.

A judge had summoned Clemens and Brian McNamee to federal court in New York for settlement talks aimed at heading off a trial in the defamation case. McNamee’s lawyer, Richard Emery, emerged saying an agreement wasn’t likely.

It was the first time Clemens and McNamee had been in a private setting opposite each other at a conference table since at least 2007, Emery said.

U.S. Magistrate Cheryl Pollak ruled previously that Clemens has to turn over thousands of emails and other documents to McNamee. She agreed to examine the material to determine whether it was protected by lawyer-client privilege, as Clemens’ lawyers contend. Another hearing was set for June 10.

RUTH WATCH: Tom Stevens, a grandson of Babe Ruth, is auctioning off the watch given to the baseball legend in his last appearance at Yankee Stadium on June 13, 1948, a few months before he died of cancer.

The watch was given to Ruth when his No. 3 was retired on the 25th anniversary of Yankee Stadium. The piece will be auctioned online by SCP Auctions, with final bids on May 17. SCP estimated it would go for at least $750,000.
