José Ramirez was a legendary baseball player. Nanietta Bacco, a great baseball fan, would often tell staff members stories about Ramirez and other famed players. (ST novel: Articles of the Federation)

Although there have been minor league baseball players named José Ramirez, it appears that this reference was meant to be to a fictional player from a future (post-2005) era, perhaps a contemporary of Buck Bokai.
