Chicago White Sox
When Alexei Ramirez left Cuba for the United States, he discovered that his Gold Medal from the 2004 Athens Olympics had been lost...

Moments ago, Jose Contreras and Jerry Reinsdorf presented Alexei Ramirez with a replacement Gold Medal.

Chris Rongey
Alexei's gold medal. As you'd expect, he cried when Contreras gave it to him. Cool moment.

Scott Merkin
It was amazing to see Alexei get his gold medal replacement in person and his emotional reaction. Kudos to the White Sox organization

Wow, that's just a super nice gesture by the Sox.

As much abuse as Jerry gets, he really takes care of our guys.

Great story. I can only imagine what was going through Alexei's mind at that moment.
