| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00  | EDIT: I guess I'll say the reference..."Jay's the baddest kid in fourh grade" Official Says Danny Almonte Is 14 By ANDRES CALA, Associated Press Writer SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) - Little League star Danny Almonte is 14, not 12 - a finding that could strip his team of its third-place World Series finish and will lead to charges against his father. A birth certificate showing the ace pitcher for the Bronx team is 12 was found to be false, said Manuel Ramon Morel Cerda, the president of the Dominican Electoral Committee, which is in charge of most public records. The government plans to charge the boy's father, Felipe de Jesus Almonte, with falsifying documents, and was considering charges against the mother, Sonia Rojas Breton, Cerda said. Little League rules prohibit any player born before Aug. 1, 1988, from competing this year. Rojas, who lives in the town of Moca, has a handwritten, photocopied birth certificate that said her son was born April 7, 1989. But Moca's official records office has another birth certificate that said he was born April 7, 1987. Another handwritten document from Dr. Toribio Bencosme Hospital in Moca states that a woman named Rojas gave birth to a boy there on April 7, 1987. Rojas, who says she gave birth to Almonte at home in the nearby town of Jamao, insists all documents but hers are false. Victor Romero of the public records office in Santo Domingo investigated Almonte's birth documents in Moca, about 90 miles north of the capital. He also investigated records from the nearby town of Jamao, where Almonte's mother said he was born. Officials found the birth certificate from Jamao to be false after speaking to the witnesses who had signed the birth certificate. The witnesses denied knowing the family or having signed the birth certificate, Morel said. The town official from Jamao who registered Danny's age as 12 last year has been suspended, he said. ``There are a number of contradictions in the second birth certificate,'' Romero said, referring to the document listing the 1989 date. ``Neither the witnesses, the hospital, nor the local authorities could confirm Almonte was born in Jamao.'' The boy was brought to New York by his father, who has insisted his son was 12. Little League Baseball planned a news conference for 4 p.m. EDT in South Williamsport, Pa., where it was expected to issue a decision about Almonte and his team, the Rolando Paulino All-Stars. Stephen D. Keener, president and chief executive officer of Little League baseball, said earlier this week that the organization would accept whatever the government's findings were about Almonte. At a news conference Friday in the Bronx, league founder Rolando Paulino said he would abide by the decision of Little League baseball. ``I trust all the parents in the league to present original documents,'' said Paulino, who was flanked by team members and parents - but not the Almontes. ``If the parents lie to the league that is not my problem. I accept the information that the parents gave to me. ``If Danny's father has provided information that is inaccurate, we all feel bad,'' he said in Spanish through a translator. Paulino said he did not know where father and son were, adding that he respects their privacy. Danny Almonte was the most dominating pitcher at the World Series this year, throwing a perfect game in the opener against Apopka, Fla. He struck out the first 15 Apopka batters in the first perfect game in 44 years at the tournament. He followed that with a one-hit shutout in the U.S. semifinals against an Oceanside, Calif., team that came in averaging .333 with five batters at .500 or better. He finished the tournament with 46 strikeouts, giving up only three hits in three starts. A run scored in last inning of his final game was the only run scored on Almonte all summer. Behind Almonte's pitching and a solid defense, the Bronx team went 4-1 at the World Series and finished third. The team's only loss was a rematch against Apopka in which Almonte couldn't pitch because of a rule that prohibits pitchers from starting consecutive games. Almonte became a sensation after throwing 16 strikeouts in the Mid-Atlantic Regional championship against State College. His perfect game only added to his reputation, and major leaguers Randy Johnson and Ken Griffey Jr. both contacted Almonte to wish him luck. But rumors about Almonte's age plagued the team throughout the tournament, and Little League coaches in Staten Island, N.Y., and Pequannock, N.J., said they had hired private investigators to find proof that Bronx players were ineligible, to no avail. On Monday, however, Little League officials in South Williamsport began an investigation into Almonte's age after Sports Illustrated uncovered the document that said he was born in 1987. After their third-place finish, Almonte and his team were honored in New York, receiving the keys to the city, a parade through the Bronx and a tribute at Yankee Stadium, even as the controversy flared. The San Juan daily El Nuevo Dia reported Friday that Paulino had six overage players on a team that he brought from Moca to represent the Dominican Republic at the Latin American Little League tournament in 1988 in Puerto Rico. The team won the tournament but later was stripped of the title because of the age dispute, said Carlos Pagan, Latin American director of Little League Baseball in San Juan. Panama went on to win. Paulino on Friday denied the report. Meanwhile, a U.S. official who asked not to be identified, said Almonte and his father are in the United States illegally. They applied to come to the United States in June 2000 and were issued tourist visas, but the visas expired six months after their arrival, the official said. Little League officials have said his immigration status did not affect his eligibility since all that is required is that a child be of age and that a parent or legal guardian live in the community he represents.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | his father did exactly what he wanted to do got his kid national exposure,though it may end up blowing up in his face.he looked awesome for a 12yr old kid but 14 is a big difference he would have been pitching from the the normal distance instead of the little league distance so his 70+ fastball wouldn't seemed so overpowering.  http://photos.yahoo.com/canweseeyourstuff | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | I just saw Dubya comment on the situation (is this REALLY A FUCKING SITUATION that requires THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES to comment on?) and he showed more emotion and anger in discussing them sending us "a false age" than anything I've ever seen him speak on including the middle east and the Spy plane situation.

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 01 | I really don't think the kid knew his parent's had falsified his documents illegally. If he did know, however, he should be blamed just as much as his parents. I think if he knew, he probably would've blurted out a lot sooner. But is he really screwed? He'll probably make millions if and when he becomes old enough for George to sign him; only two years from now.  | ||||
