So, Vlad Guerrero admitted today that he's actually 34, not 33, as his listed age states.
What does this mean? Nothing really.

Maybe he is actually 35... or 37, but is lying, basically you can't trust a person who has lied.
Maybe he is really 26?

Reported August, 2008.
all it means is whats already known....one should be very skeptical of the listed ages on a player of forign birth if one is wishing to give him millions.
Careful with that "foreign" tag. Would you really doubt Ichiro's age? Or Dice-K's?Quote:

sure i'd have doubt over their ages too. i'm not sure of the immigration process, but why would it be easier for those from central america to alter their birth cert. than those from asian countries? Or even Canada for that matter? Maybe its more difficult through their govt., but is it really unfathomable?Quote:
