Fausto Carmona — err, Roberto Heredia — arrested in Dominican Republic for false identity

Is Jamie Moyer really 49?

This story is uproariously funny, and understandable on Fausto's part. Picking the name "Fausto" should earn you more money.

Tony Perez said growing up, Luis Tiant was one of his heroes.

By the time he got to the big leagues, Tiant was younger than he was.

He's been impersonating as an MLB pitcher the past few years, so it's no surprise.

This is classic though. Only in Cleveland.

Albert Pujols is 35!

My name's not Fausto Carmona, either. Can I have his next couple of paychecks?

It's like there is no integrity in sports anymore. Cheating, lying, steroids, human growth hormones- where does it end?

Falsifying documents should void his contract. He signed under a name other than his own and signed checks that had another person's name on it. People get deported for less.

MLB stay out of the latin market and get into the asian market, no playing around with age there because the players are legitimate and good.

He committed a crime here in the U.S. by using someone else's name and he should be deported like any other alien who commits a crime. He just joins as one in a host of millions who break our laws but are allowed to stay here. It demeans the law and encourages more people to do whatever they want without worrying about the consequences.

hey ...do a background check....when i apply for a job i have to have one,and i was born in america

Fausto Carmona's other name Choker In Big Games.

"It's hard to say you would have done anything differently if you were in the same situation." It's always entertaining when editorials judge me.

He was here under false pretenses and now should have to forfeit any income made while here and be banned for life under penalty of death. By falsifying documents, he is no different than all the illegal immigrants flood across our border.

it's roberto hernandez, not heredia. heredia is his mother's surname. the mariners made the same mistake with david ortiz. his full name is david ortiz arias, and the mariners listed him as david arias until he had the courage to correct it when he was traded to the twins. anyway, too bad, i thought the indians could have been sleepers in the AL central.

I wonder out loud if the Indians have the oysters to void this clown's contract for fraud (name/age) and what the almighty players' union would do about it. Chances are the union would say it's OK to defraud your employer; Bud 'I-have-22-large-a-year-and-a-private-jet' won't do anything; and everyone will sit around and wonder why baseball is irrelevant.

I knew he was older the moment I saw him fall trying to make it to first base.

while you read this 500 Mexicans just came in over the border illegally

He should be suspended for choosing Fausto Carmona as his name.

He should not even be allowed back in the USA let alone be in MLB. There has to be consequences.
