Is that Ryan Howard?
Aaron Durley, the 13-year-old first baseman for Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, is 6’8″ and 256 lbs. In the history of Major League Baseball, only 8 players have been taller than he is. This also means that he is 6 inches taller and 10 pounds heavier than your average NFL player. Talk about a big target at first base. His entire infield could have worse aim than Dick Cheney and still be able to get the out.
The question is why isn’t he on a basketball court? He’s almost the same size as Glen “Big Baby” Davis. Could you imagine playing in the youth leagues and having to go up against this guy clogging up the middle?

he MUST be legit — Either he’s legitimately 13 years old or the Saudis are incredibly stupid for trying to pass him off as 13.
It’s almost more believable that he’s 13 than believing that somebody thinks he can pass as 13… know what I mean?
or it’s sheer genius on the part of the Saudis — If you make up a little lie, it’s hard to believe. Or you make up a lie so outrageous that the other person is so confused by it that they kinda have to take your word for it. Kinda like how Urban Myths are started.
