Q. How old is Albert Pujols?

A. A recurring topic in almost any longish Albert Pujols thread on Baseball Think Factory is Pujols' age. Pujols is listed as being born on January 16, 1980 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Some Primates refuse to believe he is that young, since he burst onto the scene with a mammoth rookie year at age 21 in 2001, continued hitting like a veteran slugger in his prime through his early twenties, looks bulky, and is Dominican-born, like many members of the Age-gate scandal who turned out to be far older than listed. They tend to refer to Pujols' age with ironic quotation marks.

From multiple records (baseball, school, family) and by his own words, the 1980 date appears to be confirmed. There is no known hard evidence to support the claim that Pujols is anything but a 1980-born ballplayer.
