If he was born in 1936, he would be 83, not 73.

Venezuela baseball is getting much better in the last decade. Lots of major league players coming from that country. Each year, the MLB IFA market is filled with kids from that nation. It is really good to see Venezuela get its recognition for baseball excellence.
