MLB players drop the gloves showing their inner hockey skills and one gets knocked out cold

However, last night's Cleveland Guardians vs. Chicago White Sox game took a surprising turn when José Ramírez unleashed a powerful right hook on Tim Anderson during the 6th inning.

The confrontation seemed to have been brewing for some time, and tensions escalated when Ramírez slid into second base.

Anderson stood over him, leading to both players squaring up for a physical showdown. Anderson's wild swing missed the mark, while Ramírez connected with a devastating punch that sent Anderson reeling.

The impact was so forceful that Anderson stumbled around afterward.

Moments like this are rare in baseball, but the intensity of the moment showed that emotions can sometimes reach a boiling point on the field.

Both players may face lengthy suspensions as a consequence, but it's clear that they channeled their inner hockey players for this unforgettable on-field brawl.
