A simply double from Cleveland Guardians slugger Jose Ramirez turned into a wild boxing match on the base paths with Chicago White Sox All-Star Tim Anderson on Saturday night. 

Ramirez was clearly safe at second base in the bottom of the sixth inning when he slid head first into the bag, as Anderson placed the tag on him. But Ramirez quickly stood up, taking offense to something Anderson had done – the shortstop was standing over him for an abbreviated moment before allowing Ramirez to get up. 

Ramirez quickly put his finger in Anderson’s face and that’s when things got ugly quick.

As both teams began swarming around them – Anderson’s teammates in the field got there first -- multiple punches were thrown. Ramirez fought through the White Sox trying to break it up, and very clearly landing a right hook on Anderson, who hit the dirt before getting back up.
