Ramirez won the 2004 World Series MVP when Boston took down the Cardinals in four games.
The slugger, now 52, played three seasons for the Dodgers for two and a half seasons. Boston traded him to LA on July 31, 2008, as part of a three-team that sent Jason Bay from the Pirates to the Red Sox.
Ramirez batted .322 with a .433 on-base percentage, .580 slugging percentage, 1.012 OPS, 44 homers, 53 doubles, two triples and 156 RBIs in 223 regular season games for the Dodgers. He went 22-for-57 (.386 batting average) with five homers, five doubles and 14 RBIs in 16 postseason games for them.
Ramirez played eight seasons for both Cleveland (1993-20) and Boston (2001-08) before heading to LA (2008-10). He finished out his major league career with the White Sox (end of 2010) and Rays (2011).
