He started his career with a triple in his first at-bat on September 17, 2000 and went on to become a three-time National League All-Star (2001-02, 2005), four-time Gold Glove Award winner (2007-09, 2012), Silver Slugger (2007) and National League MVP (2007). Rollins was also the co-winner of MLB’s prestigious Roberto Clemente Award (2014).
