Jose Ramirez Sets Cleveland Guardians Games Played Record at 1,620

Jose Ramirez made Cleveland Guardians history on April 6 by playing in his 1,620th game with the team, breaking Terry Turner's franchise record that had stood for decades. The 31-year-old third baseman surpassed Turner on the club's all-time games played list in what many consider the most fitting record for a player known for his reliability.

Ramirez has been rewriting the Guardians record books at a rapid pace. In September 2025, he became the franchise's all-time leader in extra-base hits with 726, setting that mark during a game against division rival Detroit Tigers. He also holds the team record for multi-home run games.

The Dominican-born player has spent his entire major league career with Cleveland, making him a rare example of franchise loyalty in modern baseball. His sixth-inning double that helped establish another milestone shows he continues producing at an elite level.

Experts believe Ramirez will become the greatest Guardian ever when his career ends, as he continues adding to his already impressive collection of franchise records.
