CHICAGO — Chicago White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez got a replacement for his lost gold medal that he earned with Cuba’s Olympic team at the 2004 Athens Games. During a surprise presentation Friday, Ramirez was left emotional and momentarily speechless as he received the new medal. Fellow Cuban Jose Contreras, the star of the White Sox’s 2005 World Series winner and currently with the Philadelphia Phillies, showed up during stretching and, with the team gathered in the outfield, handed Ramirez a box with the replacement medal in it. — AP
