Tim Anderson/Jose Ramirez fight
Tim Anderson was once a star shortstop for the Chicago White Sox, but his career with the team fizzled in 2023. This was perhaps the lowlight of his season -- his notorious fight with Cleveland Guardians shortstop Jose Ramirez.
It started with this slide and tag that Ramirez took exception to.
After that slide, the two squared up and the fight began.
The fight ended terribly for Anderson, who was knocked down by a left hook from Ramirez.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump continues to dominate in the 2024 U.S. Presidential race, even though he faces numerous indictments in state and federal court.
He beat opponent Nikki Haley in New Hampshire's primaries in late January 2024. And he forced out Ron DeSantis, the Governor of Florida, in the Iowa causese that preceded the race in New Hampshire.

Trump will take his act next to South Carolina, where a good showing will probably force Haley out of the race.
