## Caption

Steven Kwan: “José Ramírez — first-ballot Hall of Famer, our captain — that guy is just as likely as anyone to be up in any card game or cracking loud-ass jokes at the steakhouse.

And, to be honest with you, that’s super critical to our team’s success. Because everything we do trickles down from that man. His desire to win is otherworldly. It’s inspiring.

But with José, there’s more to it. It’s not just winning on the field. He wants to win at everything. And, you know what? He kinda does.

Any time I’m playing cards with that guy, it’s like he has magic powers. I swear he’s some sort of wizard. He somehow knows exactly what cards I have in my hand, every single time. And with video games? Maaaaaan … it’s incredible! In Mario Kart, he’ll be playing against Will Brennan or Tyler Freeman, and I’ll be watching like ... Oh my gosh, I can’t believe this. Are you guys seeing this right now? José will be gathering items on Lap 1 and then hold onto them … until the third lap, when it’s the absolute optimal time to deploy them. Like, everything he does is purposeful. He’s not just playing. He’s got a strategy. In friggin’ Mario Kart. And he is meticulous with it, super serious.

You guys don’t even understand how lucky we all are to be rolling with this man. How special he is. On so many different levels.”
