Ten-Cent Beer Night

In 1974 on this day in history - a game between Cleveland and Texas has to be called because of the results of fans being offered "ten-cent beer night". Things went from bad:

Mike Hargrove, who had come in at mid-game, was the target of hot dogs and spit. At one point, he was very nearly hit with an empty gallon jug of Thunderbird wine.

To pretty much the inspiration for the movie The Warriors:

After Texas outfielder Jeff Burroughs violently reacted to a fan stealing his glove and cap, the Texas players, led by manager Billy Martin, charged out to his aid. As soon as they arrived, hundreds of fans poured into the outfield, armed with knives, chains and portions of stadium seats they'd broken apart.

I now have the words, "Rangers - come out and pla-ay" repeating in my head...
