4-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals<\/a>.<\/p>\nBefore the sixth inning, when the game became official, Ram\u00edrez was saluted by the crowd at Progressive Field. He received the third-base bag from longtime Cleveland first-base coach Sandy Alomar Jr.<\/p>\n
Out of the 31 franchise leaders in games played, 21 are in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Pittsburgh\u2019s Roberto Clemente and Honus Wagner \u2014 both Hall of Famers \u2014 are tied at 2.433 games played.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose mean a lot because those are the two main things that I\u2019m focused on \u2014 work to get to the Hall of Fame and also win a World Series,\u201d Ram\u00edrez said through interpreter Agustin Rivero.<\/p>\n
Royals manager Matt Quatraro \u2014 Cleveland\u2019s assistant hitting coach from 2014 through \u201917 \u2014 has always appreciated Ram\u00edrez\u2019s consistent approach and routine to the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe physically matured, that\u2019s the one thing,\u201d Quatraro said before the game. \u201dIn \u201915 when he got sent down, he was swinging at everything. When he came back up, he was taking pitches and taking walks. And the next year, he started hitting for power.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ram\u00edrez made his major league debut on Sept. 1, 2013, as a pinch runner for Carlos Santana during the ninth inning of Cleveland\u2019s game at Detroit. He has been part of six AL Central Division titles, including the 2016 World Series squad, which lost in seven games to the Chicago Cubs.<\/p>\n
He is the only player in Cleveland\u2019s 125-year franchise history to have at least 250 home runs and 250 stolen bases. He currently has 286 home runs and 289 stolen bases.<\/p>\n
Ram\u00edrez leads the franchise in extra-base hits (729) and has 27 multihomer games. He ranks second in home runs, stolen bases, total bases (3,018), and RBIs (954), third in doubles (400) and seventh in hits (1,674).<\/p>\n
Turner spent 15 of his 17 big league seasons with Cleveland from 1904 through \u201918 and played in 1,619 games.<\/p>\n
