A HUGE fistfight has become the main talking point in the MLB on Saturday.
The rapid boiling over in tensions took place during the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians' game at Progressive Field in Ohio.
At the bottom of the sixth, with Cleveland down 5-1, Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez slid into second, sliding between shortstop Tim Anderson's legs.
After Ramirez got to his feet, he and Anderson immediately got into a heated argument, with an official attempting to keep them apart.
Anderson then ripped off his glove and looked ready to take on Ramirez.
The former got in the first hit just as teammates arrived to pull them apart, but after missing Ramirez, the Guardians star clapped back with a mean right hook.
Anderson fell backward onto the field as teammates rushed over to help.
Meanwhile, Ramirez was pulled away by teammates.
The White Sox star was able to get back to his feet with the help of his teammates.
Fans on Twitter went crazy after the remarkable scenes in Ohio, with one fan commenting: "The same overhand right that sat McGregor down."
