Miggy 31 going on 34


Miguel Tejada has a birthday coming up next month. He is going to be turning 32...or wait...34. It has come to the attention of the Astros that Miggy lied to the first team that he signed with, telling them he was 2 years younger than he really was. What? A player from a different country lying about his age? I am shocked and disgusted. Or not surprised at all...and don't care.

It doesn't matter how old he is right now...he's a great player and is having a wonderful start to the season. That is pretty much all that matters right now!

But you do have to wonder, Miggy has been in the league like 13 years or so. How has no one brought this up until the Astros? I realize that its not that big a deal, but still, someone should have just called him on it, like I don't know...10 years ago...
So Miggy got away with it for quite a while...but got caught finally. I guess that Deke is going to be the record holder for lying about his age for the longest. I bet Deke is about 48 going on 61 or so.
