Tejada Caught In Time Warp

[J W]

Tejada Two Years Older Than Thought

So there you go, another latin player has his true age revealed.

Latin players lie lie lie. They're juiced and older than they say. And they have every right to do so, considering they're not American citizens nor wealthy in any sense.

But this is a continually "dropped ball" by MLB -- another in a long line that needs to be picked up after.

It was painfully obvious that he was older than he claimed watching him play (read: ground into double plays) the last year or so.

im just happy that the orioles are no longer affiliated with him because it seems for the last 10 years everything has gone wrong for the birds

Miguel Tejeda still has himself a nice career to look back on and actually is probably going to be productive enough in the NL to get himself a nice little extension, even if he is 33.

[Erik Bedard]

It's Tejada

[Imgran]

Not according to his birth cert. That came out on ESPN. Not only is his age wrong but his surname is Tejeda, not Tejada.

Maybe that's how he pulled the wool over MLB for so many years?

Eh, we're done with him. He can hit his HRs in Houston now.

Man, talk about a shady situation... it's not the first time and it won't be the last. Watching his reaction during the interview was really something.
