Tejada admits to lying about age

He's actually two years farther along in his decline phase.  Thank you, once again, Peter Angelo.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5708800.html

Saying he wanted to unburden himself, Miguel Tejada approached general manager Ed Wade and asked to correct misinformation he gave the Oakland A’s when he signed in 1993. The Astros’ new shortstop is actually 33, two years older than he’s listed in the club’s media guide and other baseball records.

The best part...

“I’m a man and I’m responsible for everything. That’s why I prefer to come to them and say, ‘You know what? That’s the way it is and we’re moving forward.”

Yeah 15 years and $$$ millions later!!!

I'm thinking

That the players association and the owners should figure out what repercussion this kind of thing merits.

On one end the Astros should be able to void a contract that wasn’t based on accurate information but the players association would pitch a fit.

We take serious...comedically.

Pujols is the last holdout

of the 2001 Age-Gate… after 9/11 the new requirements for visas hamstrung almost all foreign-born players. Many got busted – Colon, Ramon Ortiz, etc., but established foreign-born players such as Pujols and Tejada had already passed the point of paperwork that mattered to the feds, so they were left unanalyzed.

The Astros are screwed.
