Hideki Matsui made baseball history on Tuesday when he played for the Rays against the White Sox. He became the first player to play 10 seasons of professional baseball in Japan and 10 seasons in the Major Leagues. Matsui broke a scoreless tie Tuesday night with a two-run homer in his second at-bat in an eventual loss for the Rays. Ichiro Suzuki played nine seasons in Japan before heading to the Major Leagues, where he has played for the Mariners for 12 seasons.
