CHICAGO -- The largest crowd Guaranteed Rate Field has seen this season was also the most unruly, as a group of fans fighting got the attention of the entire ballpark.
The brawl happened during Monday's 5-1 win by the Chicago White Sox over the St. Louis Cardinals. Some fans shared videos of the fight on Twitter:
The fighting beyond the centerfield was seen all the way from fans sitting down the first base line:
