'Mini Me' and 'The Turkey': The father/son bond between Cleveland Indians infielders Juan Uribe and Jose Ramirez

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Jose Ramirez occupies the black, leather chair at his locker. He points at a nearby teammate and yells the words over and over.

"El Pavo. El Pavo. El Pavo."

Ramirez learned about the nickname minutes earlier. It didn't take long for him to start spreading the word.

Juan Uribe's belongings reside in a locker only a couple of spots from Ramirez's dwelling. It's about as far apart as the two have been since Uribe joined the Indians in spring training.

Uribe strolled into the Indians' clubhouse on this particular Sunday morning, as he always does, wearing sunglasses, a bright plaid dress shirt with the top few buttons undone, tight jeans and unblemished white loafers, with an unlit cigar dangling from his mouth and with an earbud attached to his right ear.
