The year 2 unproven rookies took over MLB | イチローハイライト
It was 25 years ago this spring that a 402nd overall Draft pick (Albert Pujols) and MLB's first position player from Japan (Ichiro Suzuki) each landed on big league rosters with question marks -- and then immediately embarked on their *inner-circle Hall of Fame careers.*
This is the story of how a pair of unproven rookies came in and authored two of the very best rookie seasons in MLB history -- both in the SAME year (2001)!
Don't miss our full 13-minute Ichiro Pujols 2001 timeline highlight reel dropping this Tuesday!
