Jose Ramirez took a moment to get his hair combed in the dugout during ALDS Game 3

Throughout the 2016 season, baseball fans across the country have pondered one question: Just why is Indians infielder Jose Ramirez incapable of keeping his helmet on? He loses it when he runs. He loses it when he slides. Sometimes it even comes back to bonk him in the head.

Or maybe he was just trying to find a way to remain calm during the Indians' nailbiting 4-3 win over Boston. Thanks in part to Ramirez's stellar defensive work, Cleveland held on and advanced to the ALCS to meet the Blue Jays on Friday at 8 p.m. ET on TBS and Sportsnet.
