Japanese phenom, Shohei Ohtani, has commonly been referred to as Babe Ruth. Now, you might be wondering about the idea of him joining the Chicago Cubs.

Obviously, this would not be the first time an international superstar seeks an opportunity in the United States. Future Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki is the greatest player to come over from Japan. Hideki Matsui was a World Series MVP for the 2009 Yankees and put together very solid Major League numbers.

Some of the other names to don Major League uniforms include Hideo Nomo, Yu Darvish, Daisuke Matsui and, more recently, Masahiro Tanaka.
