A hilarious short film that depicts a 95-year-old Roger Clemens seeking a contract from the Yankees in the year 2057 has racked up thousands of downloads on the Internet over the last week.

Ever since Boston Dirt Dogs dug up the video last week, which was created by a Massachusetts native named Michael Barber, it’s been on top of Boston.com’s most-e-mailed list, having been clicked by our readers close to 150,000 times and been e-mailed nearly 4,000 times.

Just in case you’ve been hiding in a cave over the last week and haven’t seen the film yet, or if you’ve already watched it 10 times and want another hearty laugh, here it is:
