Wilson Ramos hangs up his glove and heart with Washington Nationals
Image Source: Getty
Wilson Ramos, the Buffalo and All-Star catcher, signed a one-day deal on June 15, 2025, to retire as a Washington National. Ramos, 35, spent 12 years in the big leagues, seven of those in Washington, so it only makes sense for him to retire where so much of his legacy was created.
This was, after all, a very personal decision: Ramos spoke about having spent years sacrificing at least part of his personal life for the career he chose to pursue, and that he hoped, now that the kids had grown up, to spend time with them as they grow up.
Wilson Ramos' career with the
Washington Nationals
Ramos filled his time with the Nationals (2010-2016) with amazing memories and solid accomplishments. As a pitcher, he'd hit a handful of the most significant pitching moments in franchise memory, catching Washington's three no-hitters — one thrown by Jordan Zimmermann and two by Max Scherzer, during Scherzer's 20-strikeout game in 2016.
Ramos endured three major knee injuries, including a torn ACL that many believed could end his career, before he bounced back each time with renewed vigor. All of that built up his determination, which ultimately resulted in him winning a Silver Slugger Award in 2016 and deservedly making the All-Star game. The Nationals manager remembered Ramos not just as a player but as a person. Martinez called him an
"incredible human being"
while he was on the diamond and off of it, saying Ramos played the game within its values.

Wilson Ramos' legacy and emotional farewell to the Washington Nationals
Ramos's career numbers are hard to argue with — His legacy goes beyond the number, as he had a .271 career average with 136 home runs, and over 500 RBIs. Teammates who played alongside Ramos pretty much always discussed how humble, gracious, and respectful he was to everyone he crossed paths with (both superstars and support staff alike), from Adam LaRoche to Daniel Murphy (former teammates).

Rohini Rules Again For Maharashtra, Gayatri Gets Maiden National Wrestling Gold
1 2 3 Nagpur: Maharashtra's most experienced grappler and reigning Asian Games gold medallist, Rohini Khanu Devba of Kolhapur, won all the bouts she played without conceding a point to underline her supremacy in the Chief Minister's Cup U-15 National wrestling championship, which concluded at the indoor stadium of Divisional Sports Complex in Mankapur on Sunday. Maharashtra grapplers managed to clinch just two gold medals on the concluding day, with Haryana wrestlers stealing the thunder of the home state by winning the overall championship in all three categories. Maharashtra finished second by marginally falling short to Haryana in both the boys' and girls' freestyle events and in the Greco-Roman boys' group. While Maharashtra started their campaign on a high on Saturday, the home state grapplers fared poorly on the concluding day. The face-saving gold medals that Maharashtra won came in the girls' freestyle category, where Rohini lived up to her top billing, and Gayatri Shinde from Shirsodi village of Indapur Taluka in Pune, registered a thumping triumph. As many as five Maharashtra grapplers managed to reach the finals on Sunday but missed the India bus by losing their bouts. The champion wrestler in all the groups qualified to represent the country in the forthcoming Asian Championship. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Passos (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo In the girls' freestyle section, Rohini, 33kg weight category National and Asian Games champion, participated in the higher 36kg group. Much like her dominance during the Asian Championship held last year in Thailand, Rohini won all the bouts she played in the 36kg group without losing a single point. In the final, Rohini blanked Karnataka's Sushmita Kammar 10-0 to register a thumping triumph. Later in the evening, another small-town girl from Maharashtra, Gayatri Shinde, rallied from a point down to outclass Shrasti Kumar from Delhi 12-6 and win the 42kg gold medal. While Rohini and Gayatri sealed their Indian berth for the Asian Championship, Maharashtra's Ketaki Jadhav and Sharvari Rathod suffered heartbreaking losses in the finals. Ketaki lost the 62kg freestyle final to Uttar Pradesh's Ankita Kushavha, while Sharvari Rathod went down fighting to Punjab's Puravi Sharma in the controversial 66kg girls' summit clash 3-5. Of the 10 weight category U-15 boys' Greco-Roman event, three Maharashtra grapplers managed to reach the finals but suffered losses to win silver medals. In the 62kg final, Darpan Chaudhari failed to find the grip against Karnataka's Taimmeshi, losing the clash 4-13. Similarly, in the 85kg title round, Rahul Satkar went down fighting to UP's Suraj Sharma 9-14 in a high-scoring bout. Earlier, in an exciting 41kg final, Sachin Shirole of Maharashtra suffered a heartbreaking 6-8 defeat against Haryana's Monu Kumar. The four bronze medals that Maharashtra grapplers Sarthak Phuge, Dhiraj Daphale, Vinayak Tambekar, and Harshvardhan Patil won came in the 38kg, 48kg, 52kg, and 57kg weight categories respectively. Haryana wrestlers winning in all the categories clinched the general championship. Despite failing to win a gold medal, Maharashtra Greco-Roman wrestlers finished second, collecting 147 points. Haryana finished on top of the table with 157 points, while Rajasthan came third with 116 points. In the girls' freestyle group, Haryana edged out Maharashtra by nine points (171-161). Delhi, with 139 points, finished third. Similarly, in the boys' freestyle event, Haryana (155) outclassed Maharashtra (137) by 18 points. Later, in the concluding ceremony, president of Maharashtra Wrestling Association and former MP Ramdas Tadas, president of the organising committee and MLC Sandip Joshi, Hindkesari Yogesh Dhoke, NMC sports officer Piyush Ambulkar, and other WFI officials distributed the prizes.

IND vs ENG, 1st Test Day 3 Highlights: Jasprit Bumrah bags five, Harry Brook misses ton, India ahead at Headingley
Jasprit Bumrah (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: Despite a valiant effort from Jasprit Bumrah and a fluent start by KL Rahul, India endured another patchy day in the field as England posted 465 in their first innings to nearly wipe out India's advantage on Day 3 of the first Test at Headingley on Sunday. India ended the day at 90/2, leading by 96 runs, with KL Rahul (47)* and Shubman Gill (6)* unbeaten at stumps. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! DROPPED CATCHES HURT INDIA India were let down by poor fielding once again, dropping five catches in the innings. The most glaring was when Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped Harry Brook for the third time in the match — on 82 — off Bumrah's bowling. Earlier, Brook was dropped by Rishabh Pant on 46, and also survived after being bowled off a Bumrah no-ball on Day 2. He eventually fell for 99, pulling a short ball from Prasidh Krishna to Shardul Thakur at fine leg. BROOK LEADS ENGLAND'S COUNTERATTACK Resuming at 209/3, England rode on Harry Brook's aggressive 99 and Chris Woakes' quickfire 38 to erase India's lead. Brook was the standout with fearless strokeplay, launching even Bumrah for sixes over extra cover. England scored 138 runs in 23.4 overs in the extended afternoon session, regularly finding boundaries off an inconsistent Indian pace attack. BUMRAH'S BRILLIANCE Jasprit Bumrah was once again India's saving grace. He claimed 5/83 in 24.4 overs, his 14th five-wicket haul in Tests and 10th in SENA countries, a milestone unmatched by any other Indian pacer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo His spell ended England's innings at 465, giving India a slender six-run first-innings lead. While Bumrah shone, the rest of India's pace unit struggled. Prasidh Krishna picked up two wickets, including Brook and Jamie Smith, but conceded 128 runs in 20 overs, lacking variation and control. Shardul Thakur was barely used, and Ravindra Jadeja was curiously brought in late, despite extracting turn. KL RAHUL IMPRESSES Chasing quick runs before stumps, India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal (4) early to Brydon Carse, and Sai Sudharsan (30) again fell to Ben Stokes, who dismissed him twice in the match. Sitanshu Kotak press conference: Big revelation on Shubman Gill But KL Rahul looked composed and elegant, striking seven boundaries, most through classic drives, as he remained unbeaten on 47 before rain stopped play. Throughout the innings, Indian players were visibly unhappy with the condition of the worn-out Dukes ball, and frequently appealed to the umpires for a change. After repeated refusals, the ball was eventually changed in the 75th over, just before the second new ball became available. India will hope for a solid batting effort on Day 4 to set up the match, while England will look to capitalise on any slip-ups. With conditions still favouring seam movement, the match is finely balanced heading into a potentially pivotal fourth day.
