I'd be interested in knowing at what real age he started playing organized ball here in the US. Was he another over-aged player in LL or other youth league? I wonder what tack the IRS and Social Security Administration is gonna take with his falsification of records?

It's interesting that this kind of thing is probably not rare in big-league baseball, but once the story started to get some legs it was the IRS and INS issues that probably drove the league to take this action.

Personally, I'm not sure the IRS and Social Security Administration has to do much here. If the guy paid his taxes, then maybe they don't care. Better yet, he may have done Social Security a favor by paying the top FICA tax on his earnings even though he'll never be collecting Social Security benefits.
