"The evidence that Konnor Griffin is 19 is as follows: The Pirates and presumably the United States government say so, for one thing. His name is spelled 'Konnor,' for another. Also he evidently cannot name any women other than his close relations."
"His favorite TV show is Duck Dynasty (???). When asked to name his favorite female athlete, he said, 'My wife.' (Note the choice of words here: not 'My girlfriend,' but 'My wife.')."
Konnor Griffin, a highly regarded MLB prospect, is set to debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates. While officially stated to be 19, evidence raises doubts about his age. His responses to questions about women and his favorite TV show suggest he may be older. Comparisons to other young players with significant contracts highlight a trend in baseball, where teams are increasingly signing young prospects to long-term deals, raising questions about age verification in the sport.
