The first two weeks of the 2015 Major League Baseball (MLB) have brought upon some historical moments for some of the game’s most popular players. 

Opening Day was April 5, and Adrián González of the Los Angeles Dodgers started the season by hitting five homeruns in the first three games, rightfully earning the National League (NL) Player of the Week award. 

All MLB teams wore jersey No. 42 on April 15, in honor of Jackie Robinson, the first African-American MLB player and Dodger legend. Los Angeles proudly celebrated a sweep against the Seattle Mariners.

As of Sunday night, the Dodgers are leading the NL West at 9-3, while the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants are last in the division with a 4-10 record. In between are the San Diego Padres 8-5, Colorado Rockies 7-5, and the Arizona Diamondbacks at 7-6. 

In the American League (AL) West, Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim made MLB history on April 17 as he hit homeruns 100 and 101 against the Houston Astros. At 23 years, 253 days, Trout became the youngest player to reach 100 career homeruns and 100 career stolen bases.

“For a 23 year-old to reach this type of accomplishment gets people thinking that maybe five years from now, a majority of records held by Baseball’s greatest will end up with Mike Trout’s name under them,” freshman Michael Castillo says.

The Angels are 5-7 and tied for third in the AL West with the Mariners. The Oakland Athletics are in second place at 6-7, and the Astros are atop at 6-6. Last in the division are the Texas Rangers, at 5-8.

In the NL Central division, the St. Louis Cardinals are leading with a record of 8-3, while the Chicago Cubs are 6-5. Behind them are the Pittsburg Pirates 6-6, Cincinnati Reds 5-7, and Milwaukee Brewers 2-10. 

The Kansas City Royals are second in the AL Central division at 9-3, behind the Detroit Tigers who are 10-2. Detroit sluggers: Miguel Cabrera and Yoenis Céspedes, and aces: David Price and Shane Greene have helped the Tigers became one of the first teams in MLB to reach 10 wins this season.

The other team to have reached 10 wins quickest is the New York Mets who are 10-3 and currently leading the NL East division thanks to collectively good offense and star pitchers, Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom.

Despite passing the franchise record for most season-opening wins, the Mets have temporarily lost third baseman David Wright and catcher Travis d’Arnaud to injuries.

As for the rest of the NL East, the Atlanta Braves are 8-4, Washington Nationals 6-7, Philadelphia Phillies 4-9, and the Miami Marlins are 3-10.

Atop the AL East standings are the Baltimore Orioles at 7-5. Second are the Boston Red Sox at 7-5, then the New York Yankees at 6-6.

In fact, baseball’s greatest rivalry made history, too. On April 10, Boston defeated New York after 19 innings (nearly seven hours), making it the longest home game in Yankees history and longest game ever in Red Sox history.

Also, Alex Rodriguez is back from his season-long suspension. Whether you like him or not, he is a big reason why the Yankees are ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays, who are both tied at 6-7.

“I think (A-Rod’s) return is great for baseball. So far this season, he’s rejuvenated the team and has been a bright spot in a very dull lineup,” freshman Jace De Leon adds.

Regardless of the team you root for, there have been many historical accomplishments and unforgettable moments to celebrate within MLB.
