Danny Almonte 19, Marries 30 Year Old Hair Stylist Danny Almonte has grown up. The former Bronx Little League pitcher whose being two years over the maximum age invalidated his team's Little League World Series run is now a 19-year-old pitching prospect likely to be selected in the baseball amateur draft, scheduled for June 6-7. He's also a recently married man -- and to an older woman. The New York Daily News reported Friday that Almonte married Rosy Perdomo, 30, a Manhattan hair stylist, in a City Hall ceremony last fall. "She's special," Almonte told the Daily News. "My family is happy for me." Since the Little League scandal five years ago, Almonte, a left-hander, has pitched for Monroe High School in New York City. He was selected to play for the East team in the All-American Baseball Game on June 7 in Albuquerque, N.M., and Monroe High was recently ranked seventh in the nation by USA Today and 43rd by Baseball America. As of May 11th, USA Today reported, Almonte was 9-0 with 0.45 ERA and 76 strikeouts in 47 innings. Perdomo told the Daily News that she's known Almonte since his Little League days. "He used to always tell me things and I was like, 'You're a minor ... we'd get in trouble,'" Perdomo told the Daily News. "I really waited for the right person to come along, so I wasn't going to just fool around, especially not with someone younger than me." She told the newspaper the two got closer last year and moved in together in June. "We share a lot ... It's a family here. We have the same friends. We just have a lot in common." If Almonte is not taken in the draft or decides not to go pro, he has a scholarship awaiting him at New Mexico Junior College in Hobbs, N.M., the newspaper reported.
What a farking moron. If he makes it to the majors and finally decides to dump her, she's gonna end up taking him to the cleaners.
Ah, young love...I read that earlier today... well, if I was his parent, his arse wouldn't be getting married for that same reason...gold diggas...I hope she's hot...
She only said she was 30 ... she's really 62. A Manhattan hair stylist named "Rosy" ... anyone else picture this?
I remember reading about that while he was playing little league he wasn't in school because registering would've revealed his true age even though he could barely speak English. So all he did was play ball and then play video games. I don't know if he has a weak mind or if he just hasn't been well served by people, his coach and his dad, who put their interest ahead of his.
Well I'm not going to blame him for the little league fiasco. He got totally used, and pretty much any kid would have went along with it, instead of questioning his dad and coach.
Rosy Perez still fine to me. . . . . until she starts talking. . but we could work on that Rocket River
Interesting; I had just been wondering what ever became of him, where he was now and if he was still regarded as a good prospect. (pitching prospect, that is, get your minds out of the gutter) I don't blame the kid for what happened. Those kind of elaborate conspiracies aren't started and perpetuated by young kids. I blame his father and whoever else went along with it. It sounds really bad that they didn't even care about his education and kept him out of school. If he gets injured or things don't work out for his career as a player, he will have a lot of catching up to do if he wants to do anything else. (well, hopefully he has caught up, but I know just because they get you through high school these days doesn't always mean you're truly caught up) As for the woman... well, normally I would say she was my hero . But it's a little unnerving if it really started back when he was seriously underage...
