An ugly Tim Anderson and José Ramírez fist fight sparked an all-out White Sox – Guardians brawl

A fight between Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson and Cleveland Guardians third baseman José Ramírez sparked an all-out brawl between both teams on Saturday night in Cleveland.

The truly outrageous, lengthy brawl started in the bottom of the sixth inning with the White Sox leading the Guardians 5-1. Ramírez slid into Anderson at second base, with the umpire calling Ramírez safe, but the two started exchanging words the second Ramírez slid into second.

That turned into Anderson and Ramírez getting into boxing stances and throwing punches at each other. An umpire tried to break up the fight, but as soon as the fists when up, he quickly left the equation.

As you could imagine, all pandemonium broke loose after that, as the brawl eventually extended to both dugouts.

It’s perhaps the wildest moment of the MLB season so far.

Like, this is just everything you don’t want to see in a baseball game. The game eventually resumed, but you can imagine the main league office will be furious about this. Suspensions and fines feel like a guarantee at this point for both teams, particularly for Anderson and Ramírez.

The game also had a historic amount of ejections from both sides.

MLB fans seemed genuinely stunned by the brawl (and how the umpire seemingly got out of the way so the two could box) as it played out on live television for everyone to see.
