Miguel Tejada promised a kid with muscular dystrophy that he would hit a home run for him in the next game and delivered for young Jacob Scott last night

     This is kind of reminicent of what Babe Ruth did many times.  A cool move to make by Tejada, especially since he delivered on his promise.



     Tejada is obviously trying to everything he can to get the steroid talk and other controversies away from him.  But, one question still remains with me:  Why would he give himself a younger age when other Dominican players normally make themselves older so they can be drafted earlier?  What Tejada did here is pretty much what you'd expect from older actresses, but this is the first time I can recall a major leaguer doing this.  Sure, Little Leaguers who make the W.S. in Williamsport do this all the time (can you say Danny Almonte?), but the reasons are obvious.
