Okay, just when I think I've heard it all, I hear something new. Miguel Tejada told the Astros today that he's been lying about his age, and that he's actually 33, not 31. And he's telling the Astros this himself... [link]

... was presented to him. He grew up poor in the Dominican Republic, and thought it would make him more valuable if he told the Oakland Athletics he was 17 (really 19) when he signed with them in 1993. Tejada's character is already under federal investigation after he allegedly lied to government authorities regarding steroid use. Does this make him a bad person? Not really. A poor decision-maker? Probably. [National Post] [MLB Fleece Factor] [Houstoned Ballz] [The Fourth Out]

... would suggest; a team of underachievers with a very harassed shortstop who, in retrospect, might have been worthy of the bus Rafael Palmeiro threw him under (government charges pending). Losing one game to these guys was bad enough, but two...well, to adapt the old saying, lose once to a sub-average a team, shame on you; lose twice to a sub-average team, what the **** is wrong with you. ...

ESPN OUTS MIGUEL TEJADA’S REAL AGE

Posted 4/18/2008 on YOU BEEN BLINDED

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 ...

Miguel Tejada, who not only was figured to have taken steroids just after the Astros acquired him, is now coming out with another bomb shell: He’s not really 31. He’s 33 . It doesn’t make much of a difference in real life, but in the baseball world — in the athletic world — it’s a world of difference. The Houston Astros shortstop told the Oakland ...
Miguel Tejada 33, not 31

If Ed Wade's face didn't turn red about Miguel Tejada's inclusion in the Mitchell Report, it might be crimson now. As it turns out Tejada is actually two years older than the Astros thought, despite his real age being on all of his legal documents. Outside of potentially overpaying for an even older shortstop the Astros don't lose too much. Tejada on the other hand is entering a possible ...
A question that will never be answered: El Duque's age

Posted 4/17/2008 on The 'Ropolitans :: New York Mets Baseball Blog

With Miguel Tejada recently revealing that he is actually three years older than he recently let on (34 rather than 31), the skeptic inside me wonders if El Duque will ever reveal his real age. Maybe when he retires? I doubt it.

Miguel Tejada may be older, but he's hitting better. With his conscious clear of the age lie, the Houston shortstop picked up four more hits tonight as the Astros defeated the Padres 11-7. Since confessing his real age on 4/17,...

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. The interviewer then ...
