During Saturday's Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians game, Tim Anderson and Jose Ramirez got into a fist fight after a slide into second base.

On Saturday, the AL Central rival Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians faced off in the second game of their three-game series. This just so happens to be the final series between the two teams this season. Let's just say emotions were at an all-time high in Cleveland, and it led to a Saturday night fight.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, the White Sox led the Guardians 5-0. Third baseman Jose Ramirez ripped a line drive to right field, allowing Andres Gimenez to score from second. Ramirez stretched the hit to a double and slid between shortstop Tim Anderson's legs. They exchanged words when Ramirez got up. Anderson threw off his glove and the two began throwing hands.

At one point, a right hand from Ramirez caused Anderson to fall to the ground. The benches and bullpens for Cleveland and Chicago cleared.

Just when things appeared to cool down, manager Pedro Grifol got into a heated argument with Cleveland third base coach Mike Sarbaugh and the two went at each other.

Anderson returned to the field and had to be held back by teammates. Outfielder Andrew Vaughn was seen at one point carrying Anderson back to the dugout.

Now, as for the ejections, Anderson and Ramirez were both thrown out of the game. Grifol, Sarbaugh, and Guardians manager Terry Francona were ejected as well. Rounding out the lengthy list of ejections is Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase.

It was quite the wild scene in Cleveland. Now, we await to see how the league disciplines those who were involved in the brawl, especially the individuals who were ejected.
