10 cent beer night

I'm not sure where this should be posted, but I came across it on espn and had never heard of this. It's quite a read, and sounds like complete chaos. If you like baseball history, this should be right up your alley.

The beginning is the backstory, but once you get into the game....ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure John Lowenstein played in that game. I think I remember him and Mel Proctor talking about it once during an O's broadcast.

That's an outstanding article. I never knew all the details about "10-cent Beer Night," just that there was some ugliness and a forfeit. Man.

I hope the Indians marketing department got fired for that one.

That was a fun read. I still miss Billy Martin.

Make. Into. Movie. Now!!!

Already my favorite scene is Hargrove beating the crap out of some kid and the commentators saying he deserved it. That and big girl flashing the crowd. Just make her not big in the movie. Take some artistic liberties there.

Is this bizarro world? This is like the 2nd time this thread has started on this subject. The Article is from June right?
