Listen "Back When There Was Baseball: Ten Cent Beer Night (June 4, 1974)"
Episode Synopsis
We celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ten Cent Beer Night which occurred on June 4, 1974, in Cleveland. The game featured the visiting Texas Rangers, with manager Billy Martin, up against the home Cleveland Indians. Our guests are Steve Foucault and Tom Grieve who played for the Rangers, and Jack Brohamer and Dick Bosman who played with Cleveland. This was a promotion that went wrong. Streaking, women bearing their bare breasts and other raucous behavior occurred, which culminated in the fans storming the field and the game being forfeited to the Rangers. We go Back When There Was Baseball this week to revisit one of the craziest games in MLB history.
