Cleveland’s beloved Guardians, star José Ramírez, showed everyone how much Cleveland sports teams have each other’s backs.
After delivering a clutch walk-off win against the Minnesota Twins, Ramírez broke out the signature “Shedeur” celebration, the same one new Browns backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders made famous. How did fans of the teams react?

On May 1, Ramírez was having quite a night. Not only did he help secure the Guardians’ third-straight win in dramatic extra-innings fashion, but he also snagged his 250th career stolen base. He’s now the first Guardian ever and only the 24th player in MLB history to reach both 250 homers and 250 steals.

But here’s where it gets really interesting. As he was rounding the bases in the bottom of the 10th inning, Ramírez flashed that signature wrist gesture—seemingly an ode to his new fellow Clevelander.

And Cleveland seems all-in on Sanders already. As sports commentators have pointed out, “Cleveland supports their own, and that will be plenty true with Sanders.” That’s just how this city rolls.
You’ve got to love how Cleveland’s sports stars rally around each other. It’s like one big family, with players from the Guardians, Browns, and Cavaliers constantly showing up for one another. Ramírez’s gesture is just the latest example of this tight-knit community.
“Cleveland is one of the better sports cities around the country, and the teams tend to support each other very well,” one sports outlet said. “This likely will make Sanders feel very welcome, and it’s a nice gesture from the Guardians’ star player.”
