Miguel Tejada lied about his age as many players do. They do it so they are seen as phenoms. They play like they are 19, but they say they are 17. They lie to make themselves appear like a great deal. Kind of like using steroids. Tejada reminds me a lot of Sammy Sosa. They both played dumb when they got caught

By now, you’ve no doubt read the story : ESPN found out that Miguel Tejada wasn’t really 31; when they asked him how old he was, he said 32; he’s actually 33. I read this story and I thought, “Miguel Tejada’s only ...F**K ESPN's E:60

I already have issues with ESPN (Sportscenter=worst show ever) but this 60 Minutes rip-off show is a joke. If Miguel Tejada is eventually proven to be a cheater that is one thing but to have him come on camera and then be bombarded the way he was is absolutely shameless

In what has been a part of baseball in Latin America for many years, Houston Astros SS Miguel Tejada has admitted that he is actually 33 years old, almost 34, rather than 31. This story first came out when ESPN confronted Tejada about his age in an interview, to which he responded that he was “32,” which is neither his real age, nor the age he was listed as.

How you react to E:60's "Gotcha!" report on Miguel Tejada's age , we've found, depends a lot on whether or not you're a journalist. Most journalists we've talked to dream of moments like this; you have a guy you know is lying to you, lies to you to your face and then you NAIL him as he scurries away.

Miguel Tejada iz teh old. As per Dominican custom, Miggy shaved two years off his age when he signed on to play major league ball. E:60 correspondent Tom Farrey presented Tejada with a copy of a birth certificate, filed by his father in his hometown of Bani, that showed he was born on May 25, 1974. The document was acquired by a Dominican law firm hired by ESPN after clerks at the town ...Did ESPN Ambush Miguel Tejada with the Birth Certificate?

Miguel Tejada is 33, not 31. We all know that now, thanks to his basically coerced confession . ESPN and a team of lawyers got their hands on a copy of Tejada's birth certificate from the Dominican Republic and showed it to Tejada . His confession, unsurprisingly, came shortly thereafter: "I was a poor kid," Tejada said. "I wanted to sign a professional contract, and that was the only way ...ESPN OUTS MIGUEL TEJADA’S REAL AGE

So, ESPN’s not afraid to get their hands dirty? One thing to do an investigative piece and report that Miguel Tejada is older than he claims, but it’s bush league to ambush the guy under the guise of an interview. I don’t blame Miggy for getting up and walking away.. I wonder if E:60 would setup an interview with an American baseball player and then bust out ...Tejada tells team he?s 33, instead of 31.

Astro Miggy Tejada has told ESPN that he is in fact, 33, as opposed to the 31 everyone kind of assumed he was. You know, cause he told them he was. Tejada was approached by ESPN after they had acquired a birth certificate who’s date indicated his claimed age might not be 100% accurate. I’m at a loss here. Mainly because though its contractually obligated, an El Duque age joke ...ESPN’s “E:60″ Ambushes Tejada On Age Question
