His mom brought his birth certificate to little league games
Looking at Robinson, you’d think he was a 32-year-old veteran. He’s not. He’ll be 25 on March 21, which is hard to believe. People overestimating his age is something he’s dealt with throughout his life, going all the way back to his little league days.
His mom used to bring his birth certificate to his games just to prove he was allowed to play.
“She had to bring my birth certificate every single time,” Robinson said back in 2016.
Even in college, Robinson was mistaken for a 35-year-old coach instead of a 20-year-old player.
I asked A'Shawn Robinson how old most people think he is when they meet him. "About 35 … They think I'm a coach." pic.twitter.com/qEUJlfZEZy
