We haven’t seen a baseball brawl in what feels like forever, and on Saturday night, we got one in the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians game.
It was all started when Jose Ramirez had some words with Tim Anderson, and then all chaos broke loose when the Guardians third baseman and White Sox shortstop put up their fists and exchanged blows.
But it was one punched that sent Anderson down to the dirt. And the Cleveland radio call summed it up by invoking a classic Howard Cosell call: “DOWN GOES ANDERSON! DOWN GOES ANDERSON!”
Yep, that’s “DOWN GOES FRAZIER!” for you:
Tom Hamilton's call of the Jose Ramirez-Tim Anderson fight on Cleveland radio is the stuff of legend.

Kind of a perfect call. We haven’t seen anything like this since that time Jose Bautista got hit.
