DYK: Julio Rodríguez is the first player in MLB history to have five consecutive seasons of 20+ HR and 20+ SB to begin a career.
The 25-year-old Dominican Republic native is also the only player in Mariners history with two 30/30 seasons. #HHM
Ichiro Suzuki arrived in the United States at age 27, making his pursuit of 3,000 MLB hits even more impressive.
He joined that club 10 years ago today, and the moment was replayed around the world.

Hideo Nomo's first MLB win! On June 2, 1995 Nomo made history with a victory against the Mets, becoming the first Japanese pitcher to win in the Majors since Masanori Murakami (Giants) in 1965. In his first MLB season Nomo scored 13 wins, won the strikeout title, and gained Rookie of the Year honors.
Is there a better life to live after baseball than the one Ichiro is living? show up to the yard, Play catch, shag BP, launch nukes & then watch a MLB game in the best seat in the house. If there is a HOF for HOF’rs based on how cool their life is after baseball-Ichiro is in it!
