That happened to a lot of Latin ballplayers. It's a common practice for prospects from those countries to lie about their age to increase their chances of being signed. After 9/11, security tightened and a lot of their birthdates were found to be false. Adrian Beltre I think was another.

I forgot about Furcal's underage DUI though. Wonder if that gets him out of the underage drinking charge.

I would bet 10% of latin players were found to be a different age.  I think Bartolo Colon aged 3 years too as many did. If it wasnt bartolo it was another big name that had been playing quite a while

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”
