Alfonso Soriano signed as a free agent with the New York Yankees in 1998, starting his career as an infield player, and played in New York for five seasons until he moved on to the Rangers, Nationals and now the Chicago Cubs. His first hit in the MLB came in 1999 when for the Yankees he hit a walk-off home run against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He finished in third place for Rookie of the Year honors in 2001. In 2002, Soriano led the American League with 696 at bats, 209 hits, 92 extra base hits, 41 stolen bases, 128 runs and set a New York Yankees team record for most at bats (696) and most strikeouts (157) in a season. He's been a fan favorite in every city he has played in.
