When calling this a rookie season I think we do need to consider that he was 27 and had been a professional for several years. Everything else you said is correct, but it wasn't truly a rookie season

Bro came to the MLB when he was 27, imagine if he played in the MLB 6-7 years earlier! that mid/late 90's Mariners team most likely would've dominated! Bro also had sneaky power but chose hits over HR's. imagine facing prime Griffey Jr, A Rod, Ed Martinez, Buhner, Olereud and ICHIRIO... and this is not even mentioning the pitchers

And he stayed humble. No flash, no stare downs, no trash talk. He let his play speak for itself.
