Overview
- Ramírez set the mark Monday when the Royals game became official after five innings, logging his 1,620th appearance and passing Terry Turner.
- Before the sixth inning, he received the third-base bag from longtime coach Sandy Alomar Jr. in a brief on-field presentation.
- He is signed to a seven-year, $175 million contract through 2032, which positions him to widen this lead and pursue more club records.
- He already leads Cleveland in extra-base hits at 729 and is the only player in team history with at least 250 home runs and 250 steals.
- Turner’s record dated to 1918 and stood for more than a century, a span that highlights how rare it is for a star to stay with one club this long.
