That contest marked his 1,619th appearance in a Cleveland uniform, setting a franchise mark that stood for over 107 years.<\/p>\n<p>Turner&#8217;s record finally fell with the Guardians first pitch on Monday. Third baseman Jose Ramirez appeared in his 1620th game with the franchise, establishing a new record. As Ramirez is under team control through 2032 due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardbarker.com\/mlb\/articles\/jose_ramirez_gives_cleveland_guardians_gift_with_another_extension\/s1_13132_43376479\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">his latest extension<\/a>, he will likely put Turner far in the rearview mirror.<\/p>\n<p>The two players were\u00a0opposites offensively. Turner was an excellent defensive player in the deadball era, but was respectable with the bat as well. He had a .254\/.310\/.320 batting line in his 6,523 plate appearances in Cleveland, hitting eight homers and 204 doubles while stealing 254 bases. Turner is also credited with inventing the head-first slide, claiming that sliding feet first hurt his ankles.<\/p>\n<p>All-time games mark just one of many Cleveland Guardians franchise records Jose Ramirez will hold<\/p>\n<p>Ramirez has quietly become one of the best players in baseball during his 14 years in the majors. He had a career .276\/.352\/.502 batting line in 6801 plate appearances entering Monday, hitting 286 homers and 400 doubles while stealing 289 bases. Ramirez should become the ninth member of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/bullpen\/300-300_club#Members_of_the_300-300_club\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the 300 home run\/300 stolen base club<\/a> at some point in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Ramirez is likely to carve his name into the franchise history books in several other categories. He is currently second <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/stathead\/baseball\/player-batting-season-finder.cgi?request=1&amp;match=player_season_combined&amp;team_id=CLE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">in Guardians history<\/a> in home runs and steals, third in doubles and seventh in hits (1674). While catching franchise stolen base leader Kenny Lofton (452 steals) may be a tall order, Ramirez has averaged 32 steals over the past five seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Ramirez set one \u00a0Guardians franchise record on Monday. That could be the first of several records he breaks before his career comes to an end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Infielder Terry Turner played his last game for the Cleveland Guardians franchise on September 1, 1918.
