Not that anyone is interested, but we are talking about an iconic Spanish soccer player Raúl here. He joined Real Madrid in 1992 (when he was 14 or 15). After that he has basically won anything there is to win with Real, 6 titles in the Spanish league, three titles in the Champions League etc. He's the all-time top scorer for Real Madrid (sometimes nicknamed Raúl Madrid) and has played the most matches for them. He's also the all-time top scorer in the UEFA Champions League and the Spanish national team. It goes without saying that he's Real's long time captain, 'El Capitan'. Also known as 'El Siete' (the seven) and 'El Angel del Madrid'. Now, as Real continues their policy of buying the best players in the world, Raúl found himself on the fringes of the first team. He had the option of continuing to be a veteran substitute and a fan favorite, or find himself a team where he still can play. So he chose to leave Madrid after 16 seasons and joined a German side Schalcke 04. I'm not sure if you could find any American athlete who's more in a 'wrong uniform'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raúl_González
