On Saturday night, August 6, 2023, a big fight happened between two star players during the sixth inning of a game between the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field.

The trouble started when José Ramírez from the Guardians slid headfirst into second base and got an RBI double. Tim Anderson from the White Sox stood over him, and Ramírez got up and yelled at Anderson, pointing his finger at him. This led to both of them throwing punches, and Ramírez landed a strong right hook that knocked Anderson down.

Because of the fight, six people got ejected, including Ramírez, Anderson, both team managers, and two coaches. The benches cleared, and it took about 15 minutes to calm everyone down. There were three more smaller arguments, with one involving the Guardians’ third base coach being aggressive towards the White Sox coaching staff.

This bad situation had been building up since the previous night when Anderson pushed a rookie player from the Guardians, Brayan Rocchio, off second base with a tag, which caused the Guardians’ manager, Terry Francona, to get ejected. Anderson also had an argument with another Guardians player, Gabriel Arias, during the game on Saturday.

After the game, Ramírez said that he had to defend himself because Anderson had been disrespecting the game and starting fights with others. Anderson didn’t talk to the media, and the White Sox manager said he would let Major League Baseball (MLB) handle the situation.

The White Sox won the game 7-4, with four home runs off the Guardians’ pitcher, Noah Syndergaard. The White Sox’s Michael Kopech had a strong performance, carrying a no-hitter into the sixth inning and earning the win. The White Sox are leading the American League Central division with a record of 71-41, while the Guardians are in third place with a record of 58-54.
