They Say It's Your Birthday

Somebody's birthday is wrong. I can believe he had a child at 13, but not 7.

Update: A quick check of the 2001 Phillies media guide yields different dates for the birth of the children. Yamley was born 1/15/1984, not 1974. However, the Philadelphia media guide does not list Ralph at all.

I saw that in April! My friend and I had a good laugh about it.

Three possibilities. Some or all of the children's birth dates are wrong. Mesa's birth date is wrong (but if he were born in 1956, he'd be pitching amazingly well for a 48-year-old, right?). Third, some of those kids were his wife's by a prior mariage.
