On a related note, I've often wondered if a baseball team (say the Royals) could terminate the contract and sue for damages of a player that lied about his age (Angel Berroa).
Age is key in predicting future performance of a prospect. a 19-year old kid and 24-year old putting up great numbers in AA are totally different.
I am no lawyer, but I cannot believe the Royals couldn't terminate his contract unless there was something in the collective bargaining agreement preventing it.
