"White Sox Murakami Munetatsu: Three Consecutive Home Runs from Opening Game — The 23-year-old slugger, batting in the second position and playing first base, hit his third consecutive home run in the second inning against the Brewers on March 29. This marks the first time a Japanese player has achieved three consecutive home runs in his first three Major League games."

"Murakami is the first Japanese position player to hit home runs in three consecutive games to start his MLB career. This distinguishes him from earlier Japanese stars like Ichiro Suzuki (who debuted with a single, not a homer) and Hideki Matsui (who appeared as a designated hitter in his first game)."
