We're about a month into the MLB season and all you have to do to find the surprises for this year is look at the home run leaders list.

Through last night's action, three players have hit 10 home runs and four more are right behind them at nine. One name among those top seven sluggers is a given -- Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout -- but some of the other names might surprise. The leaders? New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorious, Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger and Trout. Just after them? Atlanta Braves shortstop Ozzie Albies, Chicago White Sox DH Matt Davidson and a pair of past All-Stars, Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon and Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado.

Let's take a look at a few of these lesser-known players' cards.

Major League Baseball is a global game -- and Topps knows it with two versions of Shohei Ohtani's first Topps Now baseball card.

The card is one one 15 available today and it's got one in English and one with kanji to commemorate his MLB debut Thursday in Oakland. He recorded a hit in his first big-league at-bat and that's the play captured on both cards.

The cards will only initially be available via Topps for 24 hours and will be printed to order after that ordering window closes. He previously set a new sales record for the real-time card platform and this one could spark another.

Giancarlo who?

That might be the question for some baseball fans -- particularly if they are Chicago White Sox-minded -- after Opening Day as Matt Davidson and his Sox made a little history on Thursday, despite the two-homer debut of that other guy on some team somewhere.

Davidson became just the fourth player in MLB history to hit three home runs on Opening Day and his team tied the MLB record with six longballs on the day as part of a 14-7 win over the Kansas City Royals.

Davidson joins George Bell (1988), Karl "Tuffy" Rhodes (1994) and Dmitri Young (2005) in the Opening Day club, while the only other team to go yard that often was the 1988 New York Mets. The good news here for collectors? Unlike that guy in pinstripes, Davidson's certified autographs are relatively plentiful and available -- and he's been appearing on cards just as long.
