Baseball Brawl: Guardians Ramirez Knocks Down White Sox Anderson - Page 2
Cleveland Guardians star Jose Ramirez and Chicago White Sox infielder Tim Anderson were both ejected in tonight’s game after a fight broke out in the sixth inning. Both teams’ managers were also ejected.
And they say baseball is boring.
The brawl went down after Ramirez smacked a double that drove in a run, cutting the White Sox lead down to five. After sliding into second base, Ramirez reached out his hand, in what appeared to be a plea for Anderson to help him up. When he finally got to his feet the two players squared up and started throwing punches.
During the melee, Ramirez connected with a right hand that knocked Anderson to the ground.
In addition to ejections for the two players involved in the fight, each manager was also tossed, along with a third base coach and Guardians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase.
ESPN reports that each player will likely be suspended.
