The Cleveland Guardians’ ownership did not get the welcome they were expecting on Saturday.
“This is a special day for me and my family and for my other family here in Cleveland,” Ramirez said.
“I was just a little kid when I got out of New York, just excited to show what I could do. And I came, and you guys took this little kid from New York and introduced him to your family, and he became one of the best players in the game. “Thank you for allowing me to be in the Hall of Fame in Cleveland. it’s an honor for me to be in this beautiful family.”
Sandy Alomar Jr. and Carlos Baerga presented Ramirez with a Guardians Hall of Fame jacket after his brief speech.Fans were clearly frustrated with the Guardians, who are 59-65 and have the 26th most expensive roster in MLB with a $89 million payroll.
