| 17th April, 2008 - 4:37 pm | FOX Sports - Houston shortstop Miguel Tejada told the Astros on Thursday that he's 33-years old, not 31 as reported in the team's media guide, according to FOX Sports.
Tejada gave Oakland the misinformation when he joined the team back in 1993.
"I was a poor kid," Tejada said on Thursday. "I wanted to sign a professional contract, and that was the only way to do it. I didn't want or mean to do anything wrong. At the time, I was two years older than they thought."
"It was brought to our attention that the date we carry for Tejada, the year of birth, is incorrect," GM Ed Wade said. "We told Miguel we were going to go ahead and make the appropriate changes and all the information was put forward. But the fact of the matter is he's playing like he was 25." [READ] |
