Episode description
"Heading For Home: A Ten Cent Beer Night Odyssey," dramatizes the Ten Cent Beer Night riot of June 4, 1974 at Cleveland Stadium during the baseball game between the Cleveland Indians and the Texas Rangers. 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.
Heading For Home is written and executive produced by Eric and Dawn Olsen. Sound design and original music by Richard Ingraham. Original art by Kristen Kantounatakis.
