EASTLAKE, Ohio — There's no questioning the impressive nature of José Ramírez. The Guardians ' third baseman tied Cleveland legend Albert Belle for second place on the franchise's all-time home run leaders list on Monday. Less than 24 hours later in Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Ramírez passed Belle and secured himself solely in the No. 2 spot.
It's impressive considering he signed a team-friendly extension and is under contract with the Guardians through at least the 2028 season and will continue adding more home runs to his total for years to come. It is perhaps more impressive when you hear Cleveland legends discussing the feat. Baerga, former second baseman and Cleveland Hall of Fame inductee in 2013, played with Belle from 1990 to 1996. He said seeing Ramírez pass Belle made him happy for the current third baseman.
Vizquel—former Cleveland shortstop, 11-time Gold Glove winner and 2014 inductee to Cleveland's Hall of Fame—played with Belle from 1994 to 1996. He called Ramírez's accomplishment"an amazing feat."
