It all started in the sixth inning when Guardians slugger Jose Ramirez smacked a double, diving headfirst into second base before White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson tagged him.
Ramirez was clearly safe ... yet it didn't stop him from getting up and sticking his finger in Anderson's face. Unclear why Ramirez was so angry ... but things turned ugly after that.
Anderson threw his glove down and put his dukes up ready to fight. Ramirez squared off against him before the two started throwing punches at each other as both teams flooded the field from their dugouts.
Ramirez clocked Anderson in the face, knocking him on his butt. Their teammates jumped in and held them back, putting an end to the brief boxing match.
An umpire ejected both players from the game at Progressive Field in Cleveland. The hometown crowd shouted in support of Ramirez -- the Guardian's third baseman -- as he walked off the field.
By the way ... the White Sox beat the Guardians 7 to 4.
Twitch Streamer Kai Cenat Taken Into Custody ... After NYC Giveaway Sparks Mayhem
Twitch Streamer Kai Cenat took to the streets of NYC, hoping to put on a huge giveaway ... but it resulted in all-out pandemonium, and him getting hauled off by cops.
It all went down at Union Square Park on Friday, where Kai and fellow streamer Fanum said they were giving away things like PS5 consoles and gift cards. The whole thing was set to start at 4 PM, but the mayhem broke out around 3:30.
The NYPD said thousands of people were at Union Square, and officers flocked to the scene in an attempt to break up the gigantic crowd. Kai and other people in the crowd were taken into custody at some point during the mess.
Kai Cenat and Fanum caused a riot in NYC's Union Square after promising to distribute free PS5s, PCs, gift cards, etc.

Clips from inside the madness have been circulating online, showing people getting attacked, garbage flying, and even some folks on top of a gazebo. It looks like a majority of the people in the swarm are pretty young, too.
For those unaware, Kai is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, garnering 6.5M on the platform -- and another 5.5M on Instagram alone.
It's unclear if the giveaway ever actually happened -- and no word yet on what exactly sparked the crowd, if anything at all, to act erratic.

7-ELEVEN Beatdown Shoplifter Gets His Butt Kicked ... Worker Whacks Him With Stick
7-Eleven workers opened up a can of whoop ass on a thief in a California store ... and the brutal attack was captured on video.
Check out this insane footage ... which begins with the suspect emptying packs of cigarettes from shelves into a large trash bin on wheels in the 7-Eleven store in Stockton.
As the man continues to steal tobacco, one employee starts pointing at him and complaining while someone else off-camera asks if the place is insured.
Then another worker confronts the guy, grabbing him and pulling him to the ground. A third employee dashes out of a back room and goes to town on the dude, wildly whacking him with a huge wooden stick.
The robber can only scream in pain and beg for mercy ... but he isn't getting any from the staff.
Suddenly, the video cuts off, so we don't know what happened afterward. We've contacted the Stockton PD to get an official account. So far, no word back yet.

Boston Police Officer Injured Going Down Kiddie Slide
A police officer in Boston was no match for a children's playground ... the cop got busted up while hurtling down a slide, and it's all on video.
As you can see, the video starts with some metallic banging noises as the camera focuses on the bottom of the kiddie slide ... and then all of a sudden a uniformed police officer comes flying out of the chute.
The officer is face down as he zips out of the slide feet first, and almost flies over the edge. Folks behind the camera are laughing as the cop skids across the ground, then he drops an F-bomb as he stands up.
It's unclear if the cop had his gun on him when he went down the slide -- which is in City Hall Plaza -- but he's at least wearing a utility belt and some of his gear goes flying off on his way down.
Boston Police told WBZ News the officer in the video was injured on the slide, but has not missed work as a result.
The video is going viral on TikTok, racking up a million views and counting.

Ohio Bank Job Gone Awry Burglar Busted On Body Cam Video ... Cops Scream Get Down, Guns Drawn
Things didn't work out as planned for a suspected bank burglar in Ohio ... he came crashing down from a ceiling as cops surrounded him with their guns drawn, and it was all caught on film.
Police body cam footage, obtained by NBC News, captured every dramatic moment outside Federal Credit Union in Huron, about 50 miles west of Cleveland, in the early morning hours Wednesday.
In the shocking video, Tristan Heidl is at first obscured from view as he tries to push open a door hatch from inside the roof in the bank's drive-thru area.
Little does Heidl know, officers already responded to an alarm that got tripped and were standing nearby waiting for him to make his appearance.
Pretty soon, the hatch flies open, and Heidl drops down into a garbage bin.
The cops rush up to him, aiming their guns at his head while screaming for him to get on the ground.
Heidl could only say, "Aw f—k," as officers arrested him for breaking and entering and possession of criminal tools and safecracking.

Caleb Plant Slaps Jermall Charlo In Face ... Wild Altercation At Spence Vs. Crawford Weigh-Ins
Errol Spence and Terence Crawford ain't the only boxers fighting in Las Vegas ... Caleb Plant and Jermall Charlo got into it on Friday as well -- and the altercation between the two stars was wild.
You can see in video shot at T-Mobile Arena ... Plant and Charlo were backstage at the Crawford vs. Spence weigh-ins, when Plant charged at Charlo and slapped him right in the face.
Plant's hand connected so flush with Charlo's cheek, it actually made a loud sound that forced a gasp out of at least one bystander.
The two seemed to want to escalate things further ... but, thankfully, a security guard ushered Plant away from the scene -- which calmed everyone down.
It's unclear why Plant hit Charlo, but after the squabble was broken up, Caleb yelled, "Don’t you ever grab me by my motherf****in' face again like that, boy."
The two have had beef for a while ... with Plant calling out Charlo prior to his fight against David Benavidez in March.
At the time, he said he wanted Jermall if he couldn't see Canelo Alvarez next. Coincidentally, Canelo is next slated to fight Jermall's twin brother, Jermell, in September.

Meanwhile, shortly after the Plant-Jermall tiff ... a couple of women got into a scuffle outside the arena too.

Carlee Russell Charged for Fake Abduction Tale
-
Exclusive Details
- 8.8K shares
11:31 AM PT -- Carlee Russell's attorney, Emory Anthony, tells TMZ ... "What we're dealing with is a young lady who made a huge mistake. She's been arrested and she's been charged and she's eager to finish up and be through with it. She's dealing with some issues."
He concluded, "We will look forward to going to court."
Carlee Russell is now facing criminal prosecution, and it's all because police say she completely fabricated that wild kidnapping story ... prompting a massive, and expensive, search.
Prosecutors in Hoover, Alabama just charged Carlee with 2 misdemeanors -- false reporting to law enforcement authorities and falsely reporting of an incident. Each charge carries up to one year in jail.
Hoover Police Chief, Nick Derzis, said Carlee turned herself in and was released from jail Friday after posting $2,000 bond.
As you know, Carlee called 911 earlier this month when she was driving down the interstate to report a toddler wandering alone on the roadside. She got out of her car and then disappeared for 2 days ... before showing up at her parents' house without so much as a scratch on her.
Since then, police have said their investigation shows there was no toddler on the highway, and Carlee was not abducted -- as she and her parents claimed -- and then Carlee finally admitted it was all a phony story.
Prosecutors tell us they still don't know where Carlee was during the roughly 48-hour period she was off the grid -- ditto for police, who spent tons of money and resources searching for her.
After Carlee copped to the load of BS, her boyfriend slammed her for her lies, and said he's now her ex-BF -- a move that came after he initially defended her, as he also bought her kidnapping lie.

Terence Crawford Goes Ballistic On Spence Supporter ... 'You A Bitch!!!'
5:19 PM PT -- We spoke with Spence after the wild press conference ... and he said Bud's fiery response to his supporters was "irrational," since he didn't react when Crawford's team was chirping at him.
"He shouldn't have done that," Spence told TMZ Sports. "His people were saying crazy stuff ... I just turned around and smiled. I didn't turn around and say something crazy or argue with his family."
"Regardless of if I argue or not, they're gonna think the same thing that they've been thinking."
Terence "Bud" Crawford just lost his cool on an Errol Spence supporter ... repeatedly calling the man a "bitch" and a "ho."
The fiery scene played out toward the end of the boxers' prefight press conference Thursday afternoon in Las Vegas ... when someone who appeared to be in Spence's camp began chirpin' at Crawford from their front row seat.
It's unclear exactly what the agitator said ... but it ticked off Crawford, who paused everything on the stage to fire off insults at the man.
"You a bitch, n****!" Crawford said. "F*** you talkin' to?! You a bitch, n****, 'cause you keep talkin' like a bitch n****! You doin' all that talkin'!"
The 39-0 fighter kept the verbal jabs flying for several more seconds ... before, mercifully, it ended.
As for Spence ... he seemed to be amused by the situation, even joking with the guys if they were done so he could continue talking.
The entire event was filled with tension ... as the two fighters' trainers even got into a verbal spat while at the podium.
Hecklers in the audience, meanwhile, could be heard yelling at the boxers throughout it all as well.
This is probably the most trash talking we've seen from both sides since the two agreed to fight ... and it's something boxing fans have been waiting for.
Saturday night's tilt on Showtime PPV at 8PM ET/5PM PT can't come soon enough!

NFL Legend Joe Thomas Attacked By Military Dogs!!! ... In Wild Demonstration
Joe Thomas has gone from playing in front of the Dawg Pound to getting bitten by them -- the Cleveland Browns legend was viciously attacked by canines in a crazy demonstration at a military base!!
The 2023 Hall of Fame inductee and fellow ex-NFL star Whitney Mercilus hit up the Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio in partnership with USAA ... where they got a full VIP meet and greet with the four-legged military sidekicks that are trained to locate explosives, narcotics, and personnel.
Thomas and Mercilus found out firsthand just how talented these doggos are ... 'cause they threw on some bite suits and agreed to run a 40-yard dash while being chased down by the animals.
Tech. Sergeant Hendrix warned Thomas and Mercilus before the demo ... "They are trained to bite and hold until we tell them to let go."
Despite the head's up, Thomas and Mercilus were ready to go against the dog with the strongest bite out of the bunch ... and let's just say they were doomed from the start.
The video is unreal -- Thomas barely made it a few strides before the dog launched into his back, clinging on for dear life before bringing the former offensive tackle to a complete stop.
"My heart rate was as high as I can remember, probably since I was playing football," Thomas said.
Both Thomas and Mercilus ended up being dragged to the ground by the military dog during the drill ... and thankfully, they made it out alive.
"It was awesome to see both these military working dogs and their handlers, who help protect our country," Thomas tweeted. "Thank you for your service!"

'Messi Of Matadors' Gored By 1,100-Pound Bull ... During Show In Spain
Bullfighting star Andrés Roca Rey -- aka the "Messi of Matadors" -- suffered gruesome injuries during a show in Spain on Tuesday ... after he was terrifyingly gored by a 1,100-pound beast.
The horrifying incident happened at the Santiago de Santander Fair ... when Roca Rey was attempting to lure a bull through his cape.
The matador stared down the animal for several seconds ... but when it finally charged -- it ended up catching Roca Rey right in the thigh. It then took him for a scary ride.
The bull tosses Andrés in the air ... before ramming him into the stadium's boards. The bull then appears to stick its horns in the man -- before turning its attention to other matadors who had jumped in to help.
Roca Rey's teammate, Cayetano Rivera Ordoñez, jumped in the ring and managed to divert the bull's attention away from Roca Rey but was then gored by the bull as well suffering a fractured rib.
GRACIAS 🙏 A DIOS ESTÁS BIEN MAESTRO ANDRÉS ROCA REY, GRACIAS AL MAESTRO CAYETANO RIVERA ORDÓÑEZ Y AL EXCELENTE TORERO DE PLATA OCTAVIO CHACÓN, QUE TE ACOMPAÑA EN TU CUADRILLA.

Reportedly, Roca Rey was taken to the hospital with wounds to his knee -- and bruises on his neck, face, and legs.
Fortunately for the fighter, however, he avoided life-threatening wounds ... and took to Instagram just hours later to thank his teammate and fellow matador Cayetano Rivera Ordoñez who jumped in to save him and was attacked and gored by the bull as well, suffering a fractured right rib.
Roca Rey is considered one of the best bullfighters in the world -- earning comparisons to Lionel Messi for the way he dominated his sport after moving to Spain from South America.

Eventually, however, bystanders pulled the combatants away from each other -- and order was restored.
It's unclear if any arrests were made.
As for the crosstown rivalry, the Cubs not only won on Tuesday -- but they beat the Sox again on Wednesday ... giving them bragging rights until they both face off once more in August.

The man's wild run during the much-anticipated exhibition soccer game all went down on Tuesday night in San Diego at Snapdragon Stadium.

Jason Aldean Dashes Off Stage Mid-Performance ... Latest Heat Stroke Victim
6:30 AM PT -- Just as we thought, the concert venue tells TMZ he pulled the plug on the show because he was experiencing heat stroke. He's doing ok and Jason Aldean's team is working on a rescheduled date.
Jason ran into trouble during his Connecticut concert Saturday night ... he was filmed bolting offstage in the middle of a song, and although we don't know, there are signs it was heat-related.
The country star was performing in the heat and humidity at the Xfinity Theatre in Hartford when he stopped singing and buried his face in his upper arm. It looks like he was wiping off sweat, then he just ran off stage.
Check out this video ... Jason starts belting out the words again while standing at the mic, but it's all very brief, and that was the end of the show. Something is clearly wrong.
We don't know what happened after that ... but one of Jason's fans took to Twitter to provide some details.
She wrote ... "It was hotter than hell. It was bad enough just standing in the pit I can't imagine performing in jeans, boots, and hat under all those lights in that humidity with no breeze. Hope he's okay!"
She also said Jason never returned, and the show was cut short. Jason is currently on his "Highway Desperado" tour, so we hope it's not too serious.
We've reached out to Jason's reps for comment ... so far no word back.
