Why They Cancelled Ten Cent Beer Night | Tales From the Bottle
Good things happen when drinks are cheap. That is, if you’re a handsome, roguish troublemaker like Qxir – if you’re a baseball player for the Texas Rangers in 1974, maybe stick with Carlsberg.
“Ten Cent Beer Night was a promotion held by Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Indians during a game against the Texas Rangers at Cleveland Stadium on Tuesday, June 4, 1974.
The idea behind the promotion was to attract more fans to the game by offering 12 fluid ounce (355 ml) cups of 3.2% beer for just 10 cents each, a substantial discount on the regular price of 65 cents, with a limit of six beers per purchase but with no limit on the number of purchases made during the game. During the game, fans became heavily intoxicated, culminating in a riot in the ninth inning which caused the game to be forfeited due to the crowd’s uncontrollable rowdiness and because the game could not be resumed in a timely manner.”

As a Rangers fan I was very happy to hear that they won that game.

as someone from dallas (where the rangers are from and arlington is), people hate us just as much, so us and cleveland had to stick together in these trying times.

i love how they asked their teams to charge like theyre an army, is that just how things are in baseball, do they frequently have to attack people?

So what you're telling me is that the indians defended the rangers. That is revisionist history right there

Now do the guns and roses concert riot in St. Louis. Fun fact, afterwards many people from St. Louis gathered under the arch in the shape of a middle finger and they took a picture of it form the top, and sent it to axel rose

😂 the part about insulting Cleveland and how happy people were to be mentioned instead of people being mad. Dude, talk about the right place, you'll get called everything but a white man in dubious thanks. 🤷🏻♀️ People are crazy and sports fans are some of the craziest

im surprised billy martin didn't take advantage of 10 cent beer night and wasn't as drunk as the fans

Honestly, given how bad the Indians were in the 70s, attacking their own fans is pretty much what they did every time they took the field.

Clevelanders being proud of this and the balloon fiasco is the most Clevelander thing I can think of.

1:51 to be fair, these days it is pretty much a ritual; everyone gets up, filters onto the field, and mills around until rhe umpires make them go back.
