Game On: Play Ball at Ten Cent Beer Night

Our Ten Cent Beer Night Riot docudrama continues: the game actually begins, pitchers swap wives, home runs and other explosions, bouncing balls and boobs.

Every year the media “celebrate” the anniversary of the Ten Cent Beer Night riot of 1974 at Cleveland Stadium. Fans, awash in cheap beer, streaked, chanted obscenities, pelted the players with everything from hotdogs to explosives, then charged the field and brawled viciously with the visiting Texas Rangers and their own home team Indians.

This is that story.
