Jose Ramirez (Claveland Guardians) failed to achieve 40 home runs and 40 steals for the first time in his career and the sixth time in the Major League due to rain.

Cleveland was scheduled to play the Houston Astros in the final 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) game at Progressive Field in Cleveland on the 30th (Korea time).

However, it rained a lot before the game, and both teams waited more than three hours, but the game was canceled.

MLB will not hold the postponed game on this day because the postseason is set to begin on the 2nd of next month.

Ramirez’s challenge, which had 39 home runs and 41 steals before this game, was only one step away from 40-40 and ended without even trying.

40 home runs and 40 steals are a milestone that only six MLB players (Ronald Acuña Jr., Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco and Alfonso Soriano) have achieved this season, including Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers).

This season, Ohtani achieved 50-50 for the first time in history, and the meaning of 40-40 is somewhat faded, but 40-40 is also recognized as a huge record.

After the cancellation of the game was confirmed, Ramirez vowed to “achieve (40-40) records next year.”

“Unfortunately and unfortunately, Ramirez didn’t get a chance,” Cleveland coach Steven Vogt said. “He’s still having an amazing season.”

Ramirez is one of the league’s best infielders. Ramirez, who made his big league debut with Cleveland in 2013, has been a key infielder for the team since 2016, and spent his career high season in 2018 with 39 homers, 34 steals, and 105 RBIs.

Since then, Ramirez has not lost his consistency and posted 29 home runs and 126 RBIs in 2022, and he has played in 158 games this season with a batting average of 0.279, 39 home runs, 41 steals, and 118 RBIs.

Meanwhile, Cleveland advanced to the post season by ranking first in the American League Central with a 92-69 record. Cleveland faces the winner of the Houston Astros and the Detroit Tigers in the American League Division Series.
