What's in an Age

Miguel Tejada, shortstop for the Houston Astros revealed this week that he is actually two years older then he told the MLB that he is. It all stemmed from growing up in the Dominican Republic. Being a baseball player down there, he said, there is big difference from a 17 year old to a 19 year old. The Astros stance on this is that they really don't care because he is "playing like a 25 year old." I personally don't have a problem with anything that he did. We put these athletes in Latin America in such a position that they feel they have to do these things. We forced Miguel Tejada to do this, we should not blame him.
