Ten Cent Beer Night was a promotion held by Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians during a game against the Texas Rangers at Cleveland Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio on June 4, 1974. The promotion was meant to improve attendance at the game by offering cups of beer for just 10 cents each, with a limit of six beers per purchase but no limit on the number of purchases made during the game.

7/9/1963 - MLB All-Star Game - Cleveland Stadium - 1963 marked the first time in 5 years that only one game was played at the midseason break. The game took place at Cleveland Stadium in front of only 44,000 in a ballpark that could hold twice as many. It didn't help that the Indians entered the break in 6th place, and their only representative on the all-star team was "Mudcat" Grant , who didn't even see any action. the game was notable however in that Stan Musial made his 24th and final appearance in the all-star game. And youngster Carl Yastrzemski would make his 1st of 18 future appearances..1963 MLB Standings..........https://retroseasons.com/leagues/mlb/1963/standings/Cleveland Stadium.........https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/cleveland-stadium/.National League Starting Lineup1 - LF - Tommy Davis2 - RF - Hank Aaron3 - 1B - Bill White4 - CF - Willie Mays5 - C - Ed Bailey6 - 3B - Ken Boyer7 - SS - Dick Groat8 - 2B - Julian Javier9 - P - Jim O'Toole.American League Starting Lineup1 - 2B - Nellie Fox2 - CF - Albie Pearson3 - RF - Al Kaline4 - 3B - Frank Malzone5 - LF - Leon Wagner6 - C - Earl Battey7 - 1B - Joe Pepitone8 - SS - Zoilo Versalles9 - P - Ken McBride

7/8/1935 - MLB All Star Game - Cleveland Stadium - The third annual Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played in July 1935 at Cleveland Stadium. Nearly 70,000 fans filled the enormous ballpark, which had just opened a few years earlier. The game was a showcase for the new stadium, which was nearly 4 times the capacity of Cleveland's previous League Park. Babe Ruth didn't play in this game, having retired mid season just a month earlier. But, hall of famer Lefty Gomez made his third consecutive all-star game start as pitcher for the American League.

By Jesse SpectorContinuing the project that I referenced in yesterday's Pavilion, I was looking to see who coached Centre College from 1938-41, and thus had young assistant DeWitt Weaver on staff. Instead, I found Centre president Dr. Milton Moreland's carrot cake recipe.This project also took me last night to 1959 in South Dakota, and another Sports Illustrated piece, this one by Roy Terrell, “Normalcy In A Small World.” Fellow fans of the Sickos Committee, which of course you are……will enjoy diving into this.To the millions of football fans who focus their attention each Saturday afternoon on Syracuse and Southern Cal, on Northwestern and Texas and LSU, small-college football is a world apart. Yet there are far more small colleges in the U.S. than big colleges and hundreds of them play football every weekend in the fall. Some play very good football indeed.In this number there are big, wealthy schools, which are smalltime only in an intercollegiate athletic sense: Cal Poly, with its enrollment of 5,000; Mississippi Southern, with 3,825; and dozens of schools, such as East Texas State and Mankato Teachers of Minnesota and Hofstra on Long Island, all around 3,000. Then there are the medium-size small colleges, schools with 800 or 1,000 or 1,200 students, like Lenoir Rhyne in North Carolina, Juniata and Bloomsburg in Pennsylvania, Hope and Hillsdale in Michigan, Adams State in Colorado, Whittier in California, Willamette in Oregon. They play good football, too.And finally there are the small small colleges: Emporia of Kansas, Presbyterian of South Carolina, Sewanee of Tennessee—and Huron. Governed in most cases by the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) rather than by the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association), even their rules are different. They still have unlimited substitution, for example, to which the big schools are slowly returning. Freshmen are eligible for varsity competition. They have never adopted the two-point conversion nor have they widened their goal posts, partly because many of them can't afford to pull down and put up new goal posts every few years. But the game is the game; that isn't hopscotch Huron has been playing out there.One thing, though: it's definitely a piece that is of 1959. Huron College, which was a college before South Dakota was a state, called its teams the Scalpers. They later became the Si Tanka University Screaming Eagles before the school shut down in 2005. In 1959… …like I said, the SI piece was of 1959. But that also means that the ending comes across in a sweet and charming way that it probably wouldn't if it were written today, even if the feelings of joy that we get from sports at this level are so similar.I think that's something people look for a lot, and try to recapture, the sweetness of their youth, or the charm of the times before they were born, that they heard about from parents and grandparents. Nostalgia can be wielded in dangerous ways, as the very phrase that came to define a neofascist movement should make clear. It's also worth remembering the positive appeal, that even in things we've come to be cynical about, there's something good, and reasons that we fell in love, and often that generations before us did, too.The nickname, the mascot cartoon, the “pretty coeds” caption… all stuff that wouldn't make most readers have a second thought in that era. Three years later, Terrell was still at SI, and had a piece in the college football issue, which…This is also of the time, right? But waving the Confederate flag is so much louder, something that never was about honoring heritage and tradition unless you're talking about a heritage and tradition of racism — it's a good thing that it's become more common knowledge that Dixie fetishization and its incorporation into “traditions” was directly connected to Jim Crow and responding to the civil rights movement. Just because Huron College was a tiny school, without any of the clout of Ole Miss or the SEC, we can't just give it a pass.There are different levels of contempt available to us, and that's important when we try to contextualize things. The Huron coed and the Ole Miss cheerleaders both have some old-timey racism going on, but there should be a discernible difference between a school drum and the flag of violent racist traitors.Speaking of violent racists, that Roy Terrell story on Woody Hayes included a gem of an anecdote:Two years ago, as a spectator at a game in Cleveland between the Indians and Yankees, Hayes suffered through the one-handed artistry of Vic Power at first base until he could stand it no more. "You're showing off," Hayes yelled from his box near the Indian dugout. "Why don't you use both hands and help your team win?" Power, whose ears are as good as his hands, dropped over and invited Mr. Hayes to discuss the matter further after the game; Hayes, probably figuring that much of the 230 pounds he carries these days is relatively useless in hand-to-hand combat, went home instead. He didn't go back to watch the Indians again until they traded Power to Minnesota. "That guy makes me sick," he says. "What's he got two hands for?"Two paragraphs earlier, Hayes had slugged a reporter, which he denied but an assistant cheekily didn't. But the big toughie suddenly zipped his lip and ran away from Cleveland Stadium until Power — not really a huge dude — wasn't there anymore because he was scared.In case there was any doubt of Hayes being exactly the kind of jackass in 1960 that he'd be for another two decades with unchecked power at Ohio State, that year Power won the third of his then-record seven Gold Gloves. He now trails only George Scott, Don Mattingly, and Keith Hernandez.Hayes, meanwhile, has been surpassed as the Buckeyes' biggest human paraquat of a head coach by Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer. Of course, Hayes had to walk so that they could run.The man who can make Woody Hayes sickest of all is the archenemy, Jack Fullen, alumni secretary at Ohio State. Fullen once proposed that the school give up all pretense at amateurism, hire a professional team and control it under a bureau of football.Fullen, who never wanted Hayes at OSU in the first place, did wind up managing to keep the Buckeyes out of the 1962 Rose Bowl... but obviously Hayes stayed right up until 1977, when he punched a cameraman during the Ohio State-Michigan game.Haha, just kidding, Hayes kept his job a whole ‘nother year after that, until he punched Clemson's Charlie Bauman during the Gator Bowl.They should've listened to Jack Fullen. If only he'd had a carrot cake recipe. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit willetspen.substack.com/subscribe

On June 4, 1974, the Cleveland Indians hosted the Texas Rangers at  Cleveland Stadium in a rematch from the previous week. With Cleveland  media fanning the flames all week long, and a ten cent beer promotion  the night of the first game of the series, something was bound to  happen...and it did.

Join Kyle and Ardon as they dive into the absolutely buck wild story of Ten Cent Beer Night! Ten Cent Beer Night was a promotion held by Major League Baseball's Cleveland Guardians during a game against the Texas Rangers at Cleveland Stadium on Tuesday, June 4, 1974. The idea behind the promotion was to attract more fans to the game by offering cups of low-alcohol beer for just 10 cents each, a substantial discount on the regular price of 65 cents, with a limit of six beers per purchase but with no limit on the number of purchases made during the game. Which led to some.... Crazy things. Hold on to your asses, because things are about to get backwards!

Beer for a dime? So conceivably, a person can get trashed at the ballpark for just one dollar? Many such cases occurred on June 4th, 1974 at Cleveland Stadium between the Indians and Texas Rangers, which caused a brouhaha between the fans and players as the game progressed (or regressed).   Jim Clark is the play-by-play man for the Akron RubberDucks and the author of the book Rally 'Round Cleveland, which chronicles the 1974 Cleveland Indians. Why the '74 team, who finished with a mediocre 77-85 record? Well, if it wasn't for the likes of Gaylord Perry, Oscar Gamble, George Hendrick, and others, and the excitement they brought, the Indians may have moved elsewhere.   If one thinks there is no possibility their team could relocate, Jim assures them they are wrong (see the 1995 Cleveland Browns).   Jim still has copies of his book available: https://www.amazon.com/Rally-Round-Cleveland-Franchise-Saving-Indians/dp/0578205300   Follow Tony on his various social media platforms: Twitter - @TonyMazur Instagram - @tmaze25   Be sure to subscribe to Tony's Patreon. $5 a month gets you bonus content, extra podcasts, and early access to guests.

In this episode, the guys chat about the infamous 10 cent beer night and other examples of when ‘free becomes bad' in marketing.  Over the years, there have been some pretty bad promotions - Oprah Winfrey and KFC's Great Chicken Fiasco of 2009, McDonald's 1984 Olympic Scratch-Off Giveaway Campaign, and American Airlines' Fly Free for Life are all risks that ended up causing companies to operate at a loss (we talked about them at our first and one of the most popular episodes). But nothing can beat the perfect storm that was the 10 cent beer night. On June 4th, 1974, the Cleveland Stadium hosted what is now regarded as “the worst promotion in history,”- 10 Cent Beer Night. It wasn't the worst promotion in history because of the cheap booze or because it was an experiment gone wrong.  In fact, it wasn't an experiment at all. Promotions that offered discounted beer during sporting events had happened before. While they were all deemed successful, after the 1974 Cleavland debacle, whether that success is attributed to monetary gain or lack of violence is now unknown.  Ultimately, like Oprah Winfrey and KFC, McDonald's, and American Airlines, the Cleveland Indians proved that free isn't always free. Somehow what was intended as a fun way to get fans into the stadium ended in a riot.  Given the Rangers and the Indians' aggressive past, with team-wide altercations taking place as early as the week before, it feels like Cleveland's management should have known better or at least should have seen this coming.  That's tricky. In hindsight, it's easy to see where everything went wrong. The game against Texas was a perfect storm. There had been other successful promotions of the same nature before, so it's easy to understand how Cleavlands' marketing team was able to overlook the looming “10 Cent Beer Night” catastrophe. Still, that doesn't negate the fact that someone should have seen it coming. “10 Cent Beer Night,” whether it was at the Cleveland, Arlington, or any other stadium, was always a bad idea – a disaster waiting to happen. There's nothing that unites two opposing teams and gets them to work together quite like a riot led by drunk and violent fans does. The desire to attract more fans and the marginal success of similar promotions before took precedence over the possible consequences.  Questions like: “Hey, could offering cheap, unlimited beer at a sporting event that fans are passionate about cause problems?” or...  “Hey, is it possible that there will be more people wanting to use coupons for free chicken than there is the chicken we have to sell?” or...  “Hey, could a flyer actually use these unlimited, first-class flights to live in the sky, going from city to city eating and sleeping on planes?” weren't asked.  Discounted alcohol is a promotion that has been repeated many times since the riot in ‘74. But, it's been repeated with more rules, additional security, and understanding of the risk involved.  Listen to the whole story and our thoughts on what could be learned from this in today's episode.   We talk about: [04:40] Examples of unsuccessful promotions[07:40] History of the infamous 10 cent beer night[14:40] What was the marketing team thinking[15:00] Description of the promotion[19:40] Main safety issues[23:35] How could this happen?[27:40] Aftermath[31:10] What can be learned?

Finally, the story of the ill-fated “10 Cent Beer Night” held at Cleveland Stadium in 1974 will definitely put a smile on your face. Music from this episode comes from Canton’s own Hey Monea.

The 1948 World Series matched the Cleveland Indians against the Boston Braves. The Braves had won the National League pennant for the first time since the "Miracle Braves" team of 1914. The Indians spoiled a chance for the only all-Boston World Series by winning a one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox.[1] Though superstar pitcher Bob Feller failed to win either of his two starts, the Indians won the Series in six games to capture their second championship and their first since 1920 (as well as their last to the present date).It was the first World Series to be televised on a nationwide network and was announced by famed sportcasters Red Barber, Tom Hussey (in Boston) and Van Patrick (in Cleveland).[2]This was the only World Series from 1947 to 1958 not to feature a New York team, and also the last World Series until 1957 not won by a New York team (which the Braves won, except they had relocated to Milwaukee by then). Both teams would meet again in the 1995 World Series—by that time, the Braves had moved to Atlanta.
