Monday night's game between the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs came with no shortage of on-field action, as the two teams battle for playoff position. While the White Sox sit atop the American League Central, the Cubs are 4.5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central, but hold a six-game lead in the wild card race. The two Chicago rivals went back-and-forth on Monday, swapping the lead four times after the Cubs jumped out to a 2-0 lead. However, the night ended with a Wrigley Field walk-off home run, thanks to MVP candidate Pete Crow-Armstrong, and it also came with some intense emotions from fans in the process. Multiple videos surfaced of a brawl that broke out in the stands, as seen below. WARNING: The video below includes violence and may have some NSFW language.
