And it broke out while Crime Mob’s 2004 hip-hop hit 'Knuck if You Buck' got played, in which the lyrics included "Punch ’em dead up in his nose,” “And stomp his a** down to the flo,'” and “I think it’s time I knuck you.” No arrests have been reported yet.

'Great security at #WhiteSox game'

While one of many continued to say, "A fight in the crowd and an extra innings walk off If that’s not White Sox baseball idk what is." A fan tweeted, "Went to my first Chicago White Sox game today. They got a dub, a fight broke out, and they played knuck if you buck during fight. I might just get season tickets now." On the other hand, an individual wrote, "Great security at #WhiteSox game! Were they all in break?" And there were some who called it the "best base brawl". One of them wrote, "I’m a couple sections over. It was insane. Many punches thrown. Best basebrawl I’ve seen in the stands at Sox Park in a long time."

A dissappointed fan wrote, "Those people and Sox security should be embarrassed. I was in the section and they all looked fine afterwards, hope they don’t get in a fight with someone else. Sox security should be re-trained or replaced. Thanks for wasting time in the 9th of a great game. Go Sox!" Another pointed out, "Great look on the Southside. Not sure why at a baseball game people want to hit each other? Tomorrow morning it will just hurt even more."
