His Age edit

This article currently contains an uncited claim to the effect that "Soon afterward [i.e., in 1982], he revealed that he was actually four years older than he had previously admitted, thus raising his age at retirement from 30 to 34 and giving some explanation for his rapid decline with the White Sox." Leflore's various baseball cards from the 1970s, however, show his date of birth as June 16, 1948, as also shown here and in other sources. This is a strange claim anyway, since 34 is not a particularly ancient age for a baseball player— and also, his decline was far from rapid. His statistics from his last two years with the White Sox were quite respectable, aside from missing a lot of games in 1982 after missing only a handful of games the previous seven seasons.
