To fully appreciate Hanley Ramirez's rookie season, some historical perspective is needed.

The 22-year-old Marlins shortstop posted some first-year numbers that rival some of the game's greats.

Consider, Ramirez is the first NL rookie ever to post 110-plus runs and 50-plus stolen bases. And he is the second rookie since 1900 with 115-plus runs scored and 50-plus stolen bases. Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki accomplished the feat in 2001.
