José Ramírez Breaks Cleveland Guardians Record

0:00On April 7th, Jose Ramirez just etched his name in Cleveland Guardians history, hitting his 1,620th game Monday night. Against Kansas City. That top Terry Turner's mark of 1,619 games, a record that stood strong for over 108 years. Before the sixth inning, longtime coach Sandy Alamar Jr. handed him the third base bag as a keepsake, right after the game went official. According to Major League Baseball, Ramirez stands alone as the only active player leading his franchise in games played. He's been a cornerstone since his debut on September 1st, 2013, pinch running for Carlos Santana. Part of six American League central titles, including that 2016 World Series team that fell to the cubs in seven games, his loyalty runs. Dig into the stats, and he's the only guardian ever with 250 plus home runs and stolen bases, now at 286 homers and 289 steals.

1:01He tops the franchise in extra base hits with 729 and boasts 27 multi-homer games. Ramirez keeps climbing those leaderboards, sitting second in homers, steals, total bases at 3,018 and RBIs at 900. 54 with his legacy growing every ad batons. I'm Corey with the story.
