On Saturday night, Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox and Jose Ramirez of the Cleveland Guardians got into an epic fight. Punches were thrown after the two exchanged words at second base after Ramirez slid into the bag as Anderson applied the tag while straddling the base.

The video shows both players in the boxing position, and Ramirez landed at least one solid punch on Anderson’s jaw. Benches immediately cleared, and the players were separated. Things initially seem to calm down, but then for a second time benches cleared and fights broke out.

This overall was an epic baseball fight, and social media went crazy over it.
