Only certain legendary players have been All-Stars in their early 20s.

Rodriguez fits into that category.

Through his first two MLB seasons, Rodriguez has been one of the best players in baseball.

He has made the All-Star team both years along with winning Silver Slugger awards.

Not to mention he has a seventh-place and fourth-place AL MVP finish on his resume.

Rodriguez did all of that before turning 23.

But, that day is finally here as Rodriguez turned 23 years old on Friday and the Mariners sent out a tweet in celebration.

Rodriguez has already signed a long-term contract with the Mariners.

He is set to be the face of their franchise for many years to come.

We have not seen a young player have this big of an impact in Seattle since Ichiro.

He came over from Japan when he was 27, but he won Rookie of the Year and AL MVP in his first season with the Mariners.
