The June 4, 1974, night game between the Texas Rangers and the Cleveland Indians was one for the record books. Whether because of the cheap beer, the hot weather, college students home for summer, or the full moon, the things that made the game memorable had little to do with playing baseball. It is history that deserves to be remembered.

@Tucsoncoyote 2019: CLE pays for stadium construction/renovations everyday. Cuyahoga county residents have been paying a supplemental (sin) tax on alcohol/tobacco products since '91. Gateway corp was created to publically finance/build pro sports venues, in the area just south of Public Square, the former Central Market district. Gateway's authority expanded in the immediate aftermath of the football team's move to Baltimore in '95. Memorial Stadium was demolished to make way for the new Browns stadium, as prerequisite for CLE to receive the expansion/replacement franchise in '99. You can visit the remains of the old stadium: Fishing or scuba charters to the offshore drop sites in Lake Erie. Don't forget to bring your dime.

Bill Jacocks reporting live from CLE stadium for WEWS' 11 o'clock news. Rumors abound that he drew straws with Ted Henry and Dave Patterson for the privilege (think he lost.) Arrived home from the game, just in time to see live news reports from the home(brewed) riot. Look on mom's face as we walked through the door said it all: Dad is sleeping on the couch tonight. Lucky he didn't end up in the dog's house....

This has always been one of my favorite video topics. I've seen a few other people make videos covering that ten cent beer night but none went into the detail of yours. I knew it was gonna be a good video as soon as I saw the title. I laughed out loud numerous times. I was born in 1985 in Cincinnati but how I wish I could have been of age in 1974 and attended this game.
