Miguel Tejada tells team he's 33, instead of 31 years old

I think this is very popular with athletes from overseas. Watch the Little League World Series, some of those kids are a few years older than they say they are.

 

Speaking of, whatever happened to that pitcher that completely dominated in the LLWS and they found out he was too old?

 

I just watched this interview a little while ago, it seemed really nasty. They actually went to his home country and dug up a copy of his 'real' birth certificate then ambushed him with it, seemed really low class to do it like that. Its not really a huge issue its not like he's secretly 40. Baseball players can play well into their late thirties so I don't think its that big of a deal.

 

It's a good thing he's playing well because since he got traded it's come out that he's older than he said he was and he was in the Mitchell Report, if he was hitting .150 he'd be getting crucified by the Houston fans.

 

Not a surprise like others said. Wouldn't be surprised to see Julio Franco come out and say hes 89.

 

Another entry on the long list of "sports stories I really don't care about."

Big deal. If the teams didn't know he was lying in the first place, they're idiots.

 

why did you post then?

 

I think you're talking about Danny Almonte from NY. Last I heard he was in high school now and is a very average pitcher.

I definitely remember rooting for the kid during that Little League WS, he was flat out dominate.

 

...I thought he WAS 89!

 

He could probably still hit .300 at 89.

 

Haha true.

 

To offer my opinion on the situation.
