Indians teammates prank Jose Ramirez, park his car on the field
Cleveland Indians shortstop has a habit of parking his car wherever he wants at the team’s spring facility. That’s fine when you’re a 10-year veteran, but not when you’ve only received 249 career at-bats in the majors.
Ramirez may have learned his lesson Thursday after finding his car in an unusual parking spot.
Though nothing is concrete, there are “whispers” at camp that veteran infielder Mike Aviles may have been behind the caper. Even the ground crew appreciated the prank, telling MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian that they were thinking of “using [Ramirez’s car] to drag the field!”

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen some car-related hijinks this spring. It’s also not the first time the Indians have pranked a teammate this spring.
Cleveland may enter the season with enormous expectations, but manager Terry Francona seems to be running a pretty loose camp. Whether that leads to regular season wins remains to be seen, but at least it provides some entertaining stories during the lulls of March.
