CLEVELAND — Cleveland Guardians star José Ramírez now has a street named after him, connecting José Ramírez Field at Clark Field to Clark Avenue.

A dedication ceremony took place at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, followed by a “¡Pleibol!” event —a free one-day baseball clinic designed to introduce baseball to the youth of the greater Cleveland area.

This is the first time in Cleveland history that an active player will have a street named in their honor.

The free event was open to children aged 6 to 16 years old.

Ramírez and the Guardians are set to take on the Texas Rangers Saturday at 7:15 p.m. in Progressive Field for a sold-out home game.
