Abstract

second base umpire, Malachi Moore, tried his best to separate the two but quickly stepped aside when he saw how quickly things were escalating. That’s when Tim Anderson took a page out of OJ’s playbook, and dropped the glove — Mistake #2 for Anderson.</p><figure id="5276"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/1*TwN9YBUQ1ryd9vWdzl0PpA.jpeg"><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p id="219a">Punches were thrown immediately, and it wasn’t long before Chicago’s infield hopped in.

Dana White & Jake Paul Take A Back Seat To A Newcomer In Combat Sports

Saturday night, August 5, 2023 will be remembered as one of the best nights in combat sports. It wasn’t from the snooze fest UFC Fight Night, where Cory Sandhagen beat Rob Font via laying on him. And it certainly wasn’t from the Jake Paul v. Nate Diaz PPV boxing event. While UFC fans and Jake Paul haters were watching their respective fights, the MLB landed the cleanest punch of the night.

The White Sox were visiting the Guardians, and in the 6th inning, Jose Ramirez hit a RBI double to give Cleveland their first run of the game. After sliding into second base, impressively between Tim Anderson’s legs, Ramirez looked for Anderson to help him up. The second baseman denied a helping hand — Mistake #1 for Anderson.

While the camera cut away, the two exchanged what can only be described as ‘fightin’ words, with Ramirez seen sticking his finger in Anderson’s face. The second base umpire, Malachi Moore, tried his best to separate the two but quickly stepped aside when he saw how quickly things were escalating. That’s when Tim Anderson took a page out of OJ’s playbook, and dropped the glove — Mistake #2 for Anderson.

Punches were thrown immediately, and it wasn’t long before Chicago’s infield hopped in. The benches cleared soon thereafter. Given the statistic that 99.9% of fights in the MLB end with 0 punches landed, it seemed as though Chicago’s second baseman thought he was in the clear with his teammates holding Jose Ramirez back — Mistake #3 for Anderson.

Jose Ramirez hit Tim Anderson with the most swift & clean right hook I’ve ever seen on a baseball diamond, causing the second baseman to hit the dirt quicker than the shot that hit him. Anderson’s lazy body shot didn’t stand a chance against the quickness of Jose’s right hand.

Anderson (far right) falling quicker than a pound of bricks and a pound of feathers combined.

It was a knockout like you read about. After the scrum was settled, Tim Anderson tried to play everything off like he didn’t just get hit by the right hand of Marvin Hagler — Mistake #4 for Anderson.

If I just saw the clip of Anderson walking away with his teammates trying to hold him up, I would assume he either just finished playing a game of dizzy bat, or took a Elly De La Cruz 135mph hit to the dome. This man couldn’t get his legs underneath him if his life depended on it. And to think it all could’ve been avoided if he just helped up his fellow ball player. It’s a lesson as old as time.

Congrats to Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez, who is now officially 1–0 (1 K.O) in the boxing history books.
