Shin-Soo Choo (born July 13, 1982 in Busan, South Korea) is a professional baseball outfielder currently playing for the Cleveland Indians. He made his Major League Baseball debut with the Seattle Mariners on April 21, 2005, but spent most of the 2005 season and the first half of the 2006 season in the Minor Leagues with the Mariners' AAA affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers. He was traded to the Cleveland Indians (along with a player to be named later) on July 26, 2006 for first baseman Ben Broussard. Two days after being traded, Choo hit a solo home run against his former club in a 1-0 Indians victory. Choo has many nicknames among fans including "The Train" ,"Coo Coo Ca Choo" and "Big League Choo".
