Aramis Ramirez joined the Cubs as a mid-season trade from the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2003, and it was in the Windy City that the Dominican Third Baseman had his best run in Major League Baseball.  Ramirez made history that year, helping the Cubs make the playoffs, where he smacked the first post-season Grand Slam in team history.  Chicago fell to the Marlins in the NLCS, but Ramirez proved he was there to lead the team with his bat.  

Playing with the Cubs until 2011, Ramirez had seven 25 Home Run plus years, including three 30-plus years from 2004 to 2006.  An All-Star twice with the Cubs (2005 & 2008), Ramirez twice finished tenth for the National League MVP in both All-Star years.

Ramirez left Chicago for Milwaukee via free agency and had 1,246 Hits and 239 Home Runs.
