We have some 15 year old boys who look 20

They did a bone scan. He’s 16.

Wow, that's crazy.

Definitely doesn’t look 16. Hope he ends up working out well. Especially with that signing.

Yes but the mathewson clan is not eligible

Since you were the spawn of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox and your wife the result of a union between Joan Rivers and Benjamin Button, your kids don’t count.

Awesome

Plus coming from such humble beginnings too.

If he’s 6’3" at 15, he may be the tallest SS in the MLB by the time he comes up.

The most important question about Sano

Will he make it to the majors by age 20? I would just loooove to hear more stories about a player who is only 20 and can’t even drink champagne to celebrate making the playoffs.

Don't give him ideas!

Can you imagine if Sano somehow comes up before he’s 20? Darling/Caray might just keel over from the amazingness of it all.

I'm hoping they're both fired by then

Better yet, the MLB gets new network partners for the playoffs.

Minnesota's Most Famous Teenager so far...

“approximately one-quarter of all players in the minor leagues are from the Dominican Republic.”

I find this hard to believe but if it is true, I am astounded.
