also a note from B and B.

They found articles about pujols coming to the Cards at 16, and stating he was 16, but the cardinals believed he was 20, and his contract would be void if they had proof....according to the article the cardinals left it alone when they saw the performance. Il try to find all the links as I was driving listening i didint catch it.

if this is true, wow!

either way, cards fans better hope he doesnt get that 30 mil/10 years.....and if he leaves to go to another team......i will feel very bad for that new team.

He was raised and educated in the US. I doubt he is a different age.

"Born on January 16, 1980, Pujols was raised in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic by his grandmother. Pujols and his family immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic in 1996"

OK, so at 16. Then he signed. Whatever.

His name is really Jose Alcantara, LOL.

I dont believe most of the players being the correct ages that are coming those parts of the world.
