At least if he was caught drinking it was legal.
Maybe it's his son...didn't Danny marry a much older woman?

After a short stint at juco, Danny Almonte is now back in New York with little or no pro baseball hopes and reportedly separated from his wife who is 12 years older than he is...
He has just turned 23, and although reports say he was totally unaware he was "being used" back in the Little League World Series of 2001,
surely he had to know his real age and that the age he was playing under was false...
and that he was 2 years older than the kids he was playing against.
In fact, it was so obvious to some that it was the uproar by observers and other parents
that caused a Sports Illustrated reporters to go to Puerto Rico and easily find the discrepancy in Almonte's birth certificate and get it ruled bogus...

currently Almonte is serving as an assistant volunteer coach to his old high school coach Mike Turo at Monroe HS in New York...

I remember when this first broke like a week or so ago. Do you think he will still play college ball?

if he's good enough -- he can at least maybe play at the juco level.....
BUT -- his clock started ticking when he first enrolled in juco (if he did enroll full time - and we don't have that info) in fall of 2007, so the guy has a real problem...remember he has five years from when he first enrolls in college....
He likely does NOT have the qualifications to go to D-I, so he'd have to go back and get his juco associates degree.....
that would take at least through spring of 2012, then his clock would run out and he'd have to appeal to NCAA to get any further eligibility, and I think it'd be unlikely he'd get a favorable ruling......
