i'd say probably 1/3 of the dominican/puerto rican guys lie about their age so that teams will sign them...

Old. Was brought up in August. Someone posted this "news" yesterday as well.

Sorry I didn't notice, it just flashed as news across the ESPN Bottom Line.

I saw Alou on the jersey and thought Moises was around 63 and said "Damn he looks more like Felipe", then realized it was his dad......

or that Julio Franco is really like 430...

Fixed
i've heard he's younger than he really is so he can say he's the oldest guy ever to play when he's alot younger, even though he looks like he's like 60...

the players whose age comes into question are players who were signed out of Latin America. Albert has been in the US far too long for the suspicion to be there.

That's what I've always thought too.

Who knows, though.

Tejada played in the US for a while before we discovered his real age.

But Pujols lived in the US for a long time before he became a pro. He wasn't signed to a contract on a dirt field in the DR.
