Reminds me of the Danny Almonte and Ron Weaver stories.
Never heard of them.
Some little league team had Almonte, who was 14 at the time, pretend he was 12 at the time. As a result, he dominated batters.
Ron Weaver impersonated somebody and used his SS number to play football at the University of Texas as a 22-year old senior, even though he was already 30 and had already used up his eligibility.
Another classic one is John Spano, a pseudo-billionaire who managed to "purchase" the New York Islanders.
