Jose Ramirez Continues To Make Cleveland Guardians History
It's pretty safe to say that Jose Ramirez will go down as one of the most beloved players to play baseball in the city of Cleveland. He chose to take a pay cut to stay with the team when many others were traded away and all he wants to do is win here.
Jose is in his 11th season with Cleveland and he has many more to go. He's also getting to the point of his career where he's making his mark in the Cleveland baseball record book.
He reached an incredible feat on Saturday evening moving into the franchise's top 10 home run leaders after hitting his first home run of the season. This homer is Ramirez's 193 and he passed up Al Rosen in the process.
I mean, Jose absolutely crushed this ball! Throwing an off-speed pitch in a 3-0 count to Ramirez is a home run just about every time.
After the game, Terry Francona said that Jose has the ultimate green light and "Anytime we can tie the game or take the lead, he doesn't even have to look." This isn't surprising considering how disciplined of a hitter Jose is.
Ramirez entering the team's top 10 home run leaders list is a huge moment for himself and the organization and he'll continue to climb up this list over the next years.
Next up on the list is Cleveland legend Travis Hafner who hit 200 homers during his time in Cleveland. There's a high chance that J-Ram passes this in the next month or two.
