led to Furcal improbably making the jump from "A" ball to the Major League roster. He made his Major League debut on April 4, 2000, against the Colorado Rockies, getting 2 hits in 4 at-bats. His first hit was against Rockies pitcher Rolando Arrojo. Furcal went on to hit .295 with 40 stolen bases for the Braves and won the National League Rookie of the Year Award that year. He missed most of the 2001 season because of a dislocated left shoulder, suffered while stealing second base in a July 6 game at Boston. The Braves learned Furcal's true age, then 23, at the start of the 2002 season. Before then, he had claimed he was only 21.

In September Furcal was selected as the inaugural winner of the Roy Campanella Award, given to the Dodgers player who best exemplifies the spirit and leadership of the late Hall of Fame catcher.
