He entered free agency as one of the most captivating players in baseball, totaling 246 home runs and 647 RBIs over eight seasons with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. At just 25, he was the youngest free agent available and already a two-time Nippon Professional Baseball MVP.

But the White Sox investment in Murakami went beyond their two-year, $34 million contract—it also included a bathroom upgrade.
