5 facts about Gallo's Major League debut

• Gallo's debut was unlike any other in the past hundred years in the sense that he became the first player since at least 1914 with at least three hits, three runs and four RBIs in his Major League debut.

• It also took the 21-year-old Gallo just two at-bats to pick up his first career big league homer, making him the youngest player to homer in his debut since fellow Rangers infielder Jurickson Profar did so on Sept. 2, 2012, at the age of 19. Gallo, who hit 42 homers in 126 Minor League games last season, is the 27th youngest since 1914 to homer in his first game.
