So much greatness here.

The Cleveland radio call.

The Ramirez punch despite being horse collared from behind.

And particularly, the umpire immediately transforming into a boxing referee.

DOWN GOES ANDERSON! DOWN GOES ANDERSON!

Slo-mo

That was glorious.

Damn!

Between Robin Ventura and now Tim Anderson, the White Sox don't have a good record in these type of brawls

Finally a real baseball fight!
Should always be like hockey. Let them go until one goes down. Third man in gets a huge suspension.

Have they announced suspensions yet? You know it's coming.

No, don't think the suspension team works on weekends. Ramirez played today.

They are scared to suspend him. See that right hook?

it was funny how the second base ump backed away...like they had just touched gloves in the ring

That was crazy. It was like watching Hockey.

Anderson has a glass jaw. Ramirez didn't even connect with knuckles vs jaw, but rather more like a slap with a closed fist. I would have called BS on the knockout if his hand hadn't clenched up and his arms assuming the "posturing" position. And the jelly legs walking where his teammate (Vaughn, maybe?) literally carried him down into the dugout.

FAFO moment for Anderson lol...

In the vast majority of street fights, the guy who lands the first solid lick is going to win.

Ramirez's actual, literal job is to generate high velocity rotational power, and he's not wearing boxing (or even MMA) gloves. That shot takes down 95% of people who get hit with it. Amusingly, in this case it was Tim Anderson.

I've been on both sides of a street fight knock out punch. I've watched the video several times and stand by my comments.

How many pro athletes you fought, tho?

Before or after they made it to the league?

I don't care who you fought in pre-K.

if your Anderson, you have to start a fight again with him or quit baseball. if you get knocked out again you have to quit baseball. The most solid punches landed in a bras are often like that, you are being separated maybe still restrained but trying to throw haymakers

Baseball is going to quit Tim Anderson before he has to worry about it. He has been one of the worst position players in baseball this year, with Ramirez playing at his usual All-Star level.

Ramirez has far more to lose with any ongoing stupidity.

A pro athlete knocks out another pro athlete, and you're like, "It was almost a slap. Yeah, I've been a part of worse."

That's funny…

Anderson is going off on Twitter. He still may be concussed.

Yeah, it is. But that's not what I'm saying. It appeared to me to be a glancing blow without the knuckles. I've seen a woman take a much harder uppercut full on the jaw lifting her up on her tiptoes and not go down. But the dude that did that wasn't a pro athlete so I guess that doesn't count.

Make no mistake, I wouldn't want any part of anyone on that field...

Such a lucky blow but that's what happens in scraps. Also why you don't stand up and box.

another thing that would have made the fight better...

if the White Sox had been wearing their "Southside" jerseys

yeah i agree i've only been in one fight where squared up and threw punches, the better strategy is to get it on the ground
