Reminds me of the Danny Almonte and Ron Weaver stories.

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.
