That’s what I was just picturing as far as last call... carrying 6 beers in your arms. If you could. You’re probably gonna spill half of all of them at that point haha
@@ebscoHOSTpub my con law, professor was talking about living in Utah where at least at the time, they only sold 3% beer. He’s like if you wanna get drunk you just need to drink at a urinal.
@@gordons-alive4940 Former NBC Meet the press commentator Tim Russert lived in Cleveland at the time and said "I had two dollars in my pocket, you do the math"
I’m not saying what he did was the right thing to do but it’s hard to argue with such a pure and seemingly innocent motive. The guy was plastered and he just wanted that fucking hat, plain and simple as that.
Used to go to some college summer league games in Fayetteville, NC about 10 years ago. They had a beer deck along the deep 3rd base line. It was $10 to get in and $1 per 12 oz. beer. Had a great time, everytime. I don't remember ever watching more than 30 seconds of baseball.
I was at a soccer game at Busch Stadium a few years back. My friend easily spent $100+ on beer. Dude could have bought a 12 pack of that piss Bud Light for a fraction of that price at the grocery store.
I love old stories like this. Reminds me of Artie's story of his dad throwing him on the field while the cops are beating the shit out of anyone. Or as he puts it 'anyone that looks like they're in the Eagles'
Baseball must be one of the few sports where you show up, start boozing, have a fight and that shit is still going on when you are getting the hangover.
Nicholas Meyer Dude i'm not even an American and even i'm proud of Cleveland. I've seen my share of sport related riots, but never one where the entire stadium went apeshit. Great story!
I’m suddenly imagining these drunks reciting St. Crispin’s Day speeches like: “And gentlemen in Cleveland now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That got fucked up with us on 10-cent Beer Night.”
@@YuriTardidI doubt anyone had a camcorder readily available. If there was anyone who might’ve, any footage has been probably left in a camcorder for 40 years decaying.
God can you imagine the hangovers the day after? The local stores around Cleveland must have gotten a lot of business due to the amount of aspirins they sold.
I was but I was only 4 when this happened. Disco Demolition night at Comiskey Park I do remember and I remember laughing like hell with all my other buddies.
This proves that OnA were in touch with their fans. Ten Cent Beer Night and the antics it included proved their fans existed way before they did. Being a pest is an age old adage.
Mad respect to Cleveland...Your team gets in a brawl in Texas and Martin insults your team/fans so you respond by basically giving away booze when the Rangers come to town...Legendary. I ALMOST feel bad my Cubbies won the world series..almost...promise to root for you next time.(just not against Cubs)
They should do this again with double to admission price so they can make some money, I'd be sure to come if not for the drinking then just for the spectacle
With the cut off times these days, you gotta bring a flask. Just for good measure. You don't wanna sit through a dry 3rd period, and then triple overtime. FUCK THAT!!!! BRUTAL!!!
Our minor league hockey team does $2 beer night, but they use those clear plastic water cups from elementary school and the promotion runs from 6:30pm-7:30pm with puck drop at 7:00pm. I'm happy for those Cleveland fans!
No, that game was not broadcast on TV. There are no video recordings. He was thinking about the disco demolition night, a similar event to which there is complete broadcast.
What they left out was the fact you weren't limited to 6 beers in the game it was 6 BEERS PER TRIP
That’s what I was just picturing as far as last call... carrying 6 beers in your arms. If you could. You’re probably gonna spill half of all of them at that point haha
I cant find specifics but it was supposed to be low-alcohol content beers but people were being responsible getting 6 at a time.

“I just...wanted to get his hat.”
The way he says it so honestly is the funniest thing.
His eyes are hilarious
He seems like a decent guy, but you wouldn't want to get him drunk ; there's some crazy in those eyes!@HarrisonHollers
This needs to be a movie.
+steelCOYOTE Holy shit that would be great!
This is what beer league shouldve been about
steelCOYOTE
Take Me Out To The Drunk Tank
steelCOYOTE Hell Yea good idea. Take it from there first meeting in Texas to 50cent beer night.
You said this 2 years ago and nothing has been done. This world is shit!!
Three old dudes have a base sitting on their mantles. Respect. That’s legendary
The funny thing is there's probably about 10,000 people claiming they have one of the three lol
Americans folklore at its finest. Thank you Cleveland.
This deserves a full-on Ken Burns style documentary on PBS.
They probably drew non baseball fans just for the beer. Imagine going to a pro sporting event for the cheap beer.
Americans folklore, at its finest.
If the MLB wasn’t such bitches about releasing footage that isn’t “squeaky clean” that would be awesome.
That and the Dock Ellis no-hitter.
@@gordons-alive4940 Former NBC Meet the press commentator Tim Russert lived in Cleveland at the time and said "I had two dollars in my pocket, you do the math"

The old wood shampoo. Ouch. Peace out.
"I just wanted his hat." xD

In todays days this kind of incident would have resulted in hundreds of hilarious youtube videos haha
AaronVincentPresents And hundreds of annoying lawsuits and public apologies.
And hundreds of people getting arrested and going to prison.
i think its cooler as a kind of folklore
They need to make a movie about this
I’d watch it, lol
Mayor Perk. The man who turned down a dinner invitation to the White House because it was his "bowling night".
Proud to be a Clevelander.
The current price of a watery clear plastic cup of Bud at Fenway is now $11.00. People still get drunk but they are spending way too much money.
High Number I don't go to Sox games too often, but when I do me and my friends always pack a bunch of nips in our pockets

Companies do the dumbest shit to keep people from getting wasted
2024 and we’re paying 17.50 per drink at Comerica park. It’s a good thing that I actually love baseball because that would drive me away if I didn’t
This is the most American thing I’ve heard/seen in years, what a classic moment. This should be in the library of Congress.

8:20 look everyone! Older Anthony time travelled to watch what happened!
Holy shit that’s spot on
10:35 Yeah, Opie. The fans had their own cameras in 1974.
Baseball must be one of the few sports where you show up, start boozing, have a fight and that shit is still going on when you are getting the hangover.
NFL just as bad these days.
NHL the players even get involved
There were 19 separate streakers. 19.
Lol
Im a Clevelander and Im proud God Dammit a great night for the city

Reck Ssel
So? He ain't from Cleveland son.
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
They literally stole 3 bases, I thought they were talking about the game nah they actually picked them up off the ground and ran away with them lol
Gotta love Opie. "Was it footage from the broadcast or from the fans?" Yeah Opie they all whipped out their non existent cel phones...
Oh shut up people had cameras in 1974 you idiot
Camcorders existed.
@@YuriTardidI doubt anyone had a camcorder readily available. If there was anyone who might’ve, any footage has been probably left in a camcorder for 40 years decaying.
Nothing like getting blind drunk at a 5 hour baseball game and not remembering a single fucking inning
They had 10cent beer nights in Milwaukee back then too. But we knew how to handle our liquor.
1974 Cleveland Incident - "This is crazy!"
2004 Pacers/Pistons Malice at the Palace - "Hold my beer Cleveland!"
Not even close
Could you imagine 50 cent beer night at any park now? Hell, the Yankees might even be able to sell out new Yankee Stadium.
ahh good times!!!!! quite harmless really...drinking in the 70s
God can you imagine the hangovers the day after? The local stores around Cleveland must have gotten a lot of business due to the amount of aspirins they sold.
God, I wish I was alive in the 70's
I was but I was only 4 when this happened. Disco Demolition night at Comiskey Park I do remember and I remember laughing like hell with all my other buddies.
Why, so you could be at the ass-end of middle age and battling colon cancer with shit knees?
What up bro I really love your show very much that guy is bob golic is Mike golic older brother
absolutely classic segment. 10/10 re upload score
7:00 kills me every time I watch this.
Also wasn’t there a disco burning records at a baseball game that got out of had as well? I remember as a kid seeing this
That was a Chicago White Sox game with the disco demolition
God I love my city

Woo thanks for the reupload. Love this vid.
I could only imagine what Anthony would say if this were the "NBA"....
Them crazed jigaboos
One can imagine $1 a beer night today.
Astrodome Houston, had dome foam,40oz. ,Turned into,3 inches.
Drunk people are really something. Wow.
They should do this again with double to admission price so they can make some money, I'd be sure to come if not for the drinking then just for the spectacle
And combine it with Rap Demolition Night
10:39 Opie is asking if there is video from the fans... This happened in 1974.
He asked about video at all, which isn't a crazy request. I'm surprised there wasn't much
nathan papp. Holy shit you dorks will find anything to cry about Opie won’t you?
Did cameras not exist in 74, Nathan?
@@YuriTardid it would have been a super 8 or something.
The game wasn't televised, so there isn't much footage.

This game was the flashpoint of when the raised the drinking age to 21…
Now it would be 10 dollar beer night. (Oh wait that's every game)
Not sure about other stadiums, but up here in the Roger’s Center (Jays stadium) the first 16 rows of the Stadium don’t serve beer.
"Here's ten dollars. I'll have a hundred beers, thanks".
They interviewed Bob Golic for their XFL show and didn't remember him ahahaha
Our minor league hockey team does $2 beer night, but they use those clear plastic water cups from elementary school and the promotion runs from 6:30pm-7:30pm with puck drop at 7:00pm. I'm happy for those Cleveland fans!
We use to have quarter water and drinking with Lincoln in new Orleans. 5 bucks all the Milwaukee best on tap you can drink lol
Nothing like paying $8 now for a 16oz Coors light otherwise known as beer flavored water.
That's actually cheaper than most beer you'll find in stadiums. Usually it's like $11 for a 12oz
This happens in Europe all the time.
niceeee
WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
We're going to have Ten Cent beer night tonight how many people should we in hire to serve it? 10? 15? 20? NO just 2.
The Great Beer Putsch of 1974
This wouldn't happen on 10 cent weed night.
+PanasonicTooth The team would make a fortune on concessions though.
+PanasonicTooth Back in '74, you actually could find 10 cent weed. Inflation sucks.
yeah, MAAAAAAAAAN
@chipchipersonmdphd yeah because heroin never hurt anybody. Fucking moron.
Steven Randazza
Weed has ruined many, many lives.
Particularly young people.
did the owner of Action Park own the team?
They should’ve done this In the fucking major league movies
only an actual psychopath would throw a wine or liquor bottle lmao
2 people never heard of 10 cent beer night
When America was Great
Old time hockey
Those bases would be great collectors items, wtf was management thinking? .10 beer night... i thought dollar dog night was bad...
Did they ever go through the broadcast video they talked about at the end?
No, that game was not broadcast on TV. There are no video recordings. He was thinking about the disco demolition night, a similar event to which there is complete broadcast.
How often does Opie “have to take a leak”? Ruining bits with his utter lack of professionalism.
Re-purpose this event at a raiders game, That I'd actually pay to see. "Fanatics". YUCK!
Raiders baby!!!
c’mon now, they can’t trash their brand new stadium lol
lol
Kinda ironic, Opie trying to get laughs by shitting on someone else for being an awful host. Without Ant or Jim.. he's literally nothing.
they're all awful individually- it was a chemistry based show
BrooklynPerson30000 i fucking agree.
Fucking Billy Martin Started it.
Beats the shit out of Cumias story of Being arrested....... Boo HOO.
