Watching Jose Ramirez over the last 11 years has been nothing short of a treat for fans. He's a superstar-level talent who chose to stay with the organization that brought him up. However, there are some performances that he puts on that still leave us fans amazed.

Thursday night's win over the Red Sox is an example of why Ramirez should be considered one of the best players in baseball and an eventual Hall Of Famer.

The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Boston Red Sox by a final score of 8-3, but the story of the night was easily Ramirez's offensive outburst at the plate.

During his first plate appearance, Ramirez smoked a solo shot to the home run porch off Matt Dermody to give the Guardians an earlier lead. He wouldn't stop there though. In fact, Jose was just getting started.

Ramirez stepped into the box in the bottom of the third inning and picked up right where he left off blasting another home run off Dermody. This time the ball went to the bleachers in center field.

This second home run of the night marked an even bigger moment in Jose's career. It was his 200th career homer marking an impressive career milestone.

What's better than hitting 200 homers? Hitting 201 homers.

Ramirez's next at-bat forced him to the left side of the batter's box with the new pitcher, Corey Kluber on the mound. Different side of the plate, but the same result. Ramirez waited back on the offspeed pitch and hit a long fly ball to the right field seats.

This performance caps off a historic night for Ramirez. He hit his 200th career home run on the same night he had his first career three-home run game. This will easily be a game fans talk about for years to come.
