Ramírez was born in Bayamo, Cuba, and is commonly known as "El Orgullo de Bayamo" ("The Pride of Bayamo") by many fans and colleagues. A long time resident of Puerto Rico, he was inducted in the Puerto Rican Sports Hall of Fame and has been honored by the local legislature.
In 2001, Ramirez received the Ford C. Frick Award by the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
