GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jose Abreu's inflight snack on his first trip to the United States apparently was more than a bag of peanuts.
Away from the club on "personal business," the White Sox first baseman testified to a Miami federal jury on Wednesday that he swallowed part of a fake passport while flying to the U.S. to conceal his illegal travel via a Cuban ballplayer smuggling operation, according to the Associated Press.
While aboard an Air France flight from Haiti to Miami, Abreu said he ordered a beer and ate the page, which included a fake name with his photo.
