What's the Great Nickel Beer Night Riot?!
Answers:
During 1974, desperate to draw fans to watch the struggling Indians, promoters decide to have a Nickel Beer Night!. During the promotion beer would be offered for a nickel apiece!. This would lead to one of the largest crowds at Municipal Stadium in years, and would be the recipe for disaster the fans ended up getting drunk on the cheep beer, and began to riot!. This would lead to the Indians forfeiting the game against the Texas Rangers as players had to be rushed off the field to escape the flying beer bottles!.
The whole fiasco would end up in the cancellation of all future such cheap beer promotions throughout baseball!. The Indians on the field were not much better as they finished in 4th lace with a 77-85 record!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
