On June 4, 1974, Cleveland Municipal Stadium hosted one of the most infamous events in sports history: Ten Cent Beer Night. What began as a simple promotion to boost attendance for the struggling Cleveland Indians turned into a night of chaos, streaking, and a full-scale riot. Fueled by unlimited cheap beer, a rowdy crowd of over 25,000 fans clashed with players and umpires, forcing the Indians to forfeit to the Texas Rangers. Discover the key moments, wild stories, and lasting impact of this unforgettable night that changed how baseball handles fan behavior and alcohol sales forever.
