Jose Ramirez walkās it off, Zion has an arm, Joey Gallo hits HR No. 100 and more from the wacky world of sports on Wednesday.
1. Jose Ramirez says Buenas Noches to the White Sox.
You ever have that feeling when your boss gives you a late assignment, and youāre in a desperate hurry to finish it so you can get home and watch your favorite show?
Well, Cleveland Indiansā slugger Jose Rameriz was in that mood as he didnāt want to stay at Progressive Field late to play extra innings with the lowly Chicago White Sox.
So, he decided to say goodnight and send the fans home happy.
JosƩ calls it a day.

2. Joey Gallo likes home runs more than singles.
Texas Rangers star Joey Gallo is making it known on the Diamond that he doesnāt like to hit singles.
Those hits are so boring.
No, Gallo likes to cream the baseball out of the park, which is far more entertaining! So entertaining, that on Wednesday, Gallo became the first player in MLB history to hit 100 homers before hitting 100 singles; and that 100th homer landed in the freakinā Allegheny River.
Joey Gallo is the first player in MLB history to reach 100 career HR before 100 career singles (93) š¤Æ

3. Giannis Antetokounmpo put in work to close out the Celtics.
You know the opposite of ānot caring?ā
Caring.
That word fits Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis āThe Greek Freakā Antetokounmpo, who compiled 20 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and two blocks.
Fear the Deer.
Giannis did it all and the @Bucks are heading to the ECF! š¤

4. Joe Pavelskiās beautiful tip in.
The San Jose Sharks have really missed Joe Pavelski during their seven-game slugfest with the Colorado Avalanche. In Game 7, though, he returned, and since scoring goals are like riding a bike for the longtime Shark, he wasted no time letting Colorado know that he was back in the building.
This is exactly the start that the @SanJoseSharks wanted. #Game7 #StanleyCup

5. Kevin Durant takes it to the rack.
Remember the time when Kevin Durant told the media āyou know who I am?ā
Heās continuing to remind people of who he is.

7. Klay Thompson made it rain in Oakland.
Klay Thompson is a doctor in making it rain. That was an awful joke, I know, but Klay does make splashing threes such a beautiful form of art. Whether you love him or hate him, you have to admit, watching Klay shoot threes is a highlight of any day.

9. Zion Williamson has an arm!
Zion Williamson spent some time on the beach and someone caught him throwing a football. Letās just say that if the NBA doesnāt work out, he could have a career as an NFL quarterback.
