Early Life
Adrian Gonzalez was born in San Diego, California on May 8, 1982. He would attend high school at Eastlake High School where he would develop into a major league caliber player. In 2000, he was the first overall pick in the Major League Baseball Draft by the Florida Marlins.

Gonzalez would make his major league debut on April 18, 2004 with the Texas Rangers. In his two seasons with the Rangers, he would struggle to find playing time behind All-Star first baseman Mark Teixeira. In 2006, he would be traded to his hometown San Diego Padres with Chris Young, and Termel Sledge for Adam Eaton and Akinori Otsuka. With the Padres he would win the starting role with the team becoming the everyday first baseman.
