Seriously, let’s get the over with. If we get him, great! If not, we can try again July 2nd. And if we miss out on him then, it’s okay cause we still have a top farm system in baseball. This decision is taking far too long.

The story from the father is that Beras is 17. Travel documentation of when the dad was there to conceive Beras trumps a bad birth certificate. The Rangers did their homework and the rest of the teams didn’t.

sooo they gave papers that gave the wrong birthday to the mlb teams…
again…there’s a word that describes that type of happening that seems to escape me…

there’s no country where ‘travel documentation’ (AKA plane tickets) have more validity than a birth certificate, none whatsoever, ask any good lawyer you know 😉

Yeah but as Snoochies8 was trying say, as any “good lawyer” would tell you, its starts with an ‘F’ and ends with ‘raud’.

Yes and no. If DNA testing confirms that this guy is the father, and there’s proof he WAS in the country one year and NOT the next, are you going to assume that he sent his sperm over the next year to have the mother artificially inseminated just so they could a decade and a half later falsify the kid’s age?
He has birth certificates showing both years. Chances are high that they lost the original, couldn’t get a copy, so they just had another one made. This isn’t THAT unusual in 3rd world countries where record keeping is sketchy at best. The new CBA gave them reason to really dig for the a copy of the original, and presented them with real opportunities to get it done. They explain the situation to the Rangers, the Rangers can spend the pittance required to put in the research the Beras family wouldn’t have otherwise.
