Hiram Bithorn Stadium (San Juan, Puerto Rico) hosted Major League Baseball's Opening Day Game on April 1, 2001, in which the Toronto Blue Jays (8) faced the Texas Rangers (1) in an American League match-up, the first game ever played in the ballpark - a stadium that is named in honor of the first Puerto Rican to play Major League Baseball, Hi Bithorn. Esteban Loaiza was the Blue Jays starting pitcher that historic day, and not only won the game, he set a club record for most strikouts (9) in an Opening Day game!

When Estaban Loaiza made his big league debut, on April 29, 1995, he became the thirty-seventh pitcher from Mexico to pitch in the Major Leagues. Loiza defeated the Phillies 3-2 that memorable day, and became only the third pitcher from Mexico to earn the win during their debut, joining Cy Acosta and Armando Reynoso.

Did you know that when Estaban Loaiza had a career high number of wins (21 | #2 in AL | Top 25) and strikeouts (207 | #1 in AL | Top 25) in 2003, he tied the mark for most wins by a pitcher from Mexico during a single season? Do you remember who that record setting phenom was? [Answer]
