When the Yankees were in town to play the Rangers, Billy and several Yankee players would always go to a topless club called Lace not far from the stadium after the games. He had a legendary temper and got into a fight one time inside the club with the big bouncers. They took Billy out a backdoor into the parking lot and smacked him around. When all was said and done, skin from Billy's ear was found stuck to the brick wall.
@@brent4723 I always thought my dad and my grandpa were fucking with me because in my brain there was no way a marshmallow salesman is a real thing. I was floored.
The video didn't mention that the while the fans were storming the field and both teams were fighting for their lives, the stadium organist was playing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game"
I think you mixing that up with Disco Demolition Night as Harry Carey was singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” while the fans were rioting on the field
Fun fact: The Rangers first baseman who was in this video talking about the 20 pounds of hot dogs thrown at him is Mike Hargrove, who went on to become the manager of the Cleveland Indians in the 90s.
"Disco Night" in Chicago's Commiski Park was just as wild!!!!!!!! As All fans brought Disco Records to the Stadium and burned them up during abd after the game. The 70s were wild as Pirate's Pitcher Piched a No Hitter while High on LSD. As "The Bird" ( Mark Fidrich) in Detroit was crazy.....
Cleveland Municipal Stadium was colloquially known as "The Mistake by the Lake". The Cuyahoga river runs through Cleveland and empties into Lake Erie. It has caught fire (from pollution) more than once. The 1970's were a different time.
I'm from Cleveland. The Rock and Roll capital of the world (the term rock & roll started in Cleveland). Every major artist made their way to Cleveland at one point or another!
10 cent beer nights weren't uncommon in the MLB back then. The difference was this was an unlimited purchase opportunity, with 6 beers at once. And it was.Cleveland in the 70s. Their river was literally on fire.
They did pull off another ten cent beer night a few weeks later, but they were better prepared, they had additional staff and security personnel working and set strict limits of no more than 2 beers per purchase and no more than 6 purchases. This time it went off without a major incident.
Life long Clevelander here... Thank you guys for doing this reaction. This happened well before my time (I'm 34) but have heard about this night plenty of times but never really looked into it. Fascinating watch. Fun fact - the first baseman who had all those pounds of hotdogs thrown at him ended up being the Indians manager through the 90s which was arguably their best run as a team in their history. Hargrove also ended his career as a player for the Indians. Weird how it all came full circle. Keep up the videos! Maybe punish us Cleveland fans more with a reaction of The Drive or Red Right 88 or Bottlegate since the NFL season is closing in on us.
Growing up in the 70’s was a crapshoot…Lawn darts, seatbelts optional, lethal fireworks, but it had its good points as well. 😀 Maybe you guys should check out Billy Martin. He was quite a character, and a big part of baseball during that time. Another really fun reaction boys! Love your commentary! 😂
@@Kojak024 I assume that you're being tongue-in-cheek, but seatbelts were and are an enormous improvement in public health, preventing so much death and suffering.
The initial brawl started because the batter was running to first base and about to be tagged by the pitcher but he absolutely CLOBBERED the pitcher (presumably to get the pitcher to drop the ball) but it was SUPER excessive even by 70's standards. He ran inside the baseline and leaned in with his shoulder and elbow and sent the pitcher flying, which prompted the first and second baseman to come down and fight him, which prompted the Rangers to charge out of the home dugout which was right there in front of first base. It was a combination of all these things that led to that getting out of hand so fast. Billy Martin, the Rangers manager that night, the one that blew the kiss to the crowd and ordered his team to charge the fan with bats...hoooooooooooo man what a character. Very much a doing-things-his-own-way hothead. Can't recommend enough that y'all learn about him. Especially his relationship with then-Yankees owner George Steinbrenner when he was Yankees manager, then fired, then Yankees manager, then fired, then Yankees manager, then fired, then Yankees manager, then fired, then Yankees manager, then fired again. Seriously, dude was fired 5 times by Steinbrenner.
The impetus for the first fight was that the runner going to first base laid out the pitcher when he wasn't blocking the base path. The runner doesn't have a right to body clock another player whenever they want.
We did Nickle Beer night here in Charleston with our MinorLeague Team(Pirates then, Riverdogs now). It was a DOUBLE HEADER... By the third inning of the Second game People were passed out all over the park, in the bathrooms (which were 3rd world nasty in the old ball park), The Concession Stands, On the Metal Bleachers with their legs and arms hanging down like a Panther in a tree). STILL the beer guy came around with trays of nickle beer. The Charleston police brought 2 "Paddy Wagons" to the park and as people would Wobble out to their cars and try to drive away, they would arrest them.. I read the next day that over 200 people were arrested out of a crowd of 4000... maybe. I was lucky enough to have ridden a Bicycle to the park that night.... Most vomit that I've EVER seen in my life. The WHOLE park smelled of old beer and Puke for a Month.... 😅😂 Our new park is one of the best in Minor league baseball and looks out over the Ashley River... And smells like green grass and hot dogs... Rick Charleston SC
Hey Nick and Damo, great review as always!! Billy Martin was the Rangers manager (coach) at this time, he was the one that blew the kiss to the crowd. Billy Martin is a legend in coaching, you need to see if there are some videos of him. I think he was fired and rehired by the Yankees multiple times. Just a crazy character and that kiss as well as the comment the week before the game are classic Martin. If you can find a video on him watch it, he was a one of a kind character.
Billy Martin - the Ranger's Manager at the time, was a legendary scrapper. Never one to de-escalate a situation, his "taunting" of the crowd was completely in character. No limit 10 cent beer!? Oh, yeah, what could go wrong? Worse than that - even when they saw things going haywire - management did nothing.
The player who had hotdogs thrown at him, Mike “The Human Rain Delay” Hargrove aka Grover, went on to play for Cleveland and was our beloved manager during the 90s.
Billy Martin, the Rangers manager, was known throughout his career (Yankee player, Yankee manager, Oakland As manager--and an excellent manager, too) for being feisty, combative and even getting into fist fights. He was fearless--trying to fight Reggie Jackson, a great Yankee player when Billy was the Yankee manager, in the Yankee dugout. He is worth a video of his own by you guys.
It was Billy Martin who blew a kiss to the crowd. Given who he was, they were lucky he didn't go into the stands and start punching people. Martin was infamous for his thin skin and bad temper. Please watch a video about Disco Demolition Night.
We have a saying "OIC" Only in Cleveland. LOL. But it's funny there's also "Only in New York" and "Only in Florida" vids that are also so amazingly accurate too
This, with hindsight was absolutely hilarious, living in Ohio at the time and knowing Cleveland anybody could have told you this was a Bad Idea. Cleveland in the 70's was abysmal, the industrial Rust-Belt was being felt hard in Cleveland. It got so bad the Cuyahoga River that flowed past Cleveland actually caught on Fire, which they had a damn difficult time putting it out, now how polluted does a River have to be to actually catch fire ?
"Now the Lord can make you tumble And the Lord can make you turn The Lord can make you overflow But the Lord can't make you burn" (For those unfamiliar, from a Randy Newman song, "Burn On", about the Cuyahoga River incident, very famously used in the opening of the movie "Major League").
9:44 and 9:48 those aren’t the images from the 1974 10 cent beer night- Those are just stock images of streakers from more recent years But yeah, great reaction 😂 This game and the “Disco Demolition Night” game by the White Sox not long after will long live in hilariously infamy
In the the early 1990s there was a bar that served .50 cent 16 oz beers. They had tables set up with plastic cups and 4 guys pouring them out of kegs non stop. Never seen anything like it. No one checked ID and in the US you need to show ID to buy beer if you are 102 now so it was a crazy time. All kids 16-22 or so.
What happened in the 1st game that led to the fight? A player slid into base and took out the baseman. In retaliation the pitcher threw 90mph fastballs at the heads of the next couple of batters.
Up until the all out brawl this was hilarious! People chugging beer from the tap, throwing hot dogs and non stop steaking. 😂 Also, the massive balls on the player who while this was going on blew the opposing fans a kiss! 😂 Total chaos!
My father taught at Youngstown south highschool in the 80's and 90's. Mostly a black student body they never had a baseball team until 87 or 88 they had enough kids to try it! First ( and only) game was against Youngstown Rayen, in the 3rd or 4th inning a fight broke out BOTH teams grabbed bats and that was the end of the baseball team at Youngstown south
I found it funny the narrator mentioned 25k being a big crowd for the Indians. That didn't even make 1/3 of the capacity of the stadium: a dual-purpose edifice shared w/ the Browns. 78k meant a sellout for baseball. The Indians occasionally hit that mark when they would get off to a good start for a season.
Just think… That 60,000 beer total was only up until about the fourth inning when the girls abandoned the trucks and everybody got free beer. That doesn’t count all the beers consumed from the fifth inning onwards. And yes, it really was two teenage girls… Believe they were about 14 or 15 serving the beer.
When you couples this with the 2001 game between the Jacksonville jaguars and Cleveland Browns and Cleveland with the fans, then Cleveland starts to build itself a bit of a reputation… I think you guys reacted to that game the game the NFL wanted you to forget.
The 70s were a bit different, in Oklahoma in 1974 the drinking age was 16yrs for girls and 18yrs for boys, no joking weird huh, think most people have forgotten this
You could do a video just on Billy Martin, the Rangers manager in this video, but more known for his career as the Yankees manager. If any manager in baseball history would blow a kiss to the drunken crowd, it would be him.
The manager that blew the kiss to the fans is BILLY MARTIN. You guy have to review a video of him. One if the most insane.. IN A GOOD WAY.... craziest, most colorful managers in baseball ever. HE DIDNT CARE!!! Lol
Your reactions and theorizing of the conversation that occurred between the father and son streakers had me laughing so hard I was crying! Check out the 1979 Chicago White Sox “Disco Demolition Night” fiasco for another great fan fiasco.
Mates…You should really check out another Sports Promotion Debacle from 1979 at the Chicago White Sox, Comiskey Park … The White Sox GM Bill Veeck long considered a master promoter, invited Steve Dahl ( Chicago Rock radio shock jock) to have a promotion there between games of a twi-lite doubleheader with the Detroit Tigers called Disco Demolition Night, there was a 98 cent price for admission (resulting in 50,000 people in attendance mostly teenagers & twenty somethings) where they literally blew up a huge pile of Disco Records on the Field, It turned into a complete Riot, with more than 7,000 teens storming the field stealing the bases and tearing up the field… forcing MLB to cancel game 2…..It was the most surreal experience of my life…Good Luck Jjh
I was 17 in 1974 I graduated high school that year but I live in California so I was no where near Ohio nor do I ever wanna go to Ohio. But the 70s, what a great party, what a great time we had in the 70s.. you know they say, and I believe if you weren’t around in the 70s, you missed everything lol.
And this wasn't even the worst Cleveland sports promotion ever. That honor (honour) belongs to the short lived Cleveland professional softball team. Seriously the dumbest idea ever and alcohol was not involved.
On a totally unrelated note, there was a runner picked off at first base in yesterday's Mariners v Angels game. I seem to remember you wondering if pick-offs really happen.
The impressive thing is that the Indians had ANOTHER ten cent beer night scheduled for like three weeks later. And they did not cancel it. It actually went off (mostly) fine. The problem was clearly the Rangers...
The sock-streaker is smart (but woulda been smarter with two): if’n the security guards get him, he’s got a _slightly_ higher chance of slippin’ their grips and running for an extra few yards before getting his ass pounded into the field! 🤪
Its not that crazy, when I was in college (UT) in the 70's. the 'K-Jays (Knoxville Bluejays) had $0.25 Beer Nights at least once a summer, it was a rowdy crowd, a lot of fun. Naked streaking at football & baseball games was a big thing in the early 70's, lol.

Next suggestion: Disco Demolition Night in 1979 in Chicago.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Agreed, since you've watched this one, you have to watch the disco night lol hilarious 🤣
@@DNReacts Chicago DJ steve dahl created it.I use to listen to him when I was in HS.
@@hifijohn but you can't omit Bill Veeck's part of this story, he was an incredible promotor :D
Interesting note about disco demolition night, Michael Clarke Duncan when he was a young man was in attendance for that.
Billy Martin was quite a character. He managed the Yankees in the 70’s and 80’s. His fights with his owns players and management are historic.
As was his fight with a marshmallow salesman in Minnesota.
When the Yankees were in town to play the Rangers, Billy and several Yankee players would always go to a topless club called Lace not far from the stadium after the games. He had a legendary temper and got into a fight one time inside the club with the big bouncers. They took Billy out a backdoor into the parking lot and smacked him around.

@@brent4723 I always thought my dad and my grandpa were fucking with me because in my brain there was no way a marshmallow salesman is a real thing. I was floored.
He was also involved in the pine tar incident
The video didn't mention that the while the fans were storming the field and both teams were fighting for their lives, the stadium organist was playing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game"
That’s wild 😂😂

He also briefly managed the Seattle Mariners.
Wouldn't be surprised if Billy Martin (Texas Manager) had a dozen beers himself durring that game.
"Disco Night" in Chicago's Commiski Park was just as wild!!!!!!!! As All fans brought Disco Records to the Stadium and burned them up during abd after the game. The 70s were wild as Pirate's Pitcher Piched a No Hitter while High on LSD. As "The Bird" ( Mark Fidrich) in Detroit was crazy.....

@@Kojak024 I had a good time, but I did always feel bad for those kids who inevitably blew their fingers off every 4th of July.
Thank you Johanna 😅, as always we really appreciate the comment and your support. We’ll make sure Billy Martin is added to the watch list too 🙏
@@Kojak024 I assume that you're being tongue-in-cheek, but seatbelts were and are an enormous improvement in public health, preventing so much death and suffering.
The Dollop is an amazing and hilarious podcast that covered this game on one of their earlier episodes. Highly recommend it.
Cleveland AKA the Mistake by the Lake

Thank you 😂 this was a crazy one!
trust me, Philly has plenty to hang their hats on. Some basketball games were rough back in the day.
@Jeff S ask Jimmy Johnson and Santa about Philly fans...lol. the 70's were rough.
@@cteal2018 I know and we still get a bad rep😩
Between 10¢ beer night and Balloonfest ‘86 Cleveland sure does know how to screw up an event. 😂

“He’s got a sock on” 😂 y’all always got the jokes man.
😂😂
We couldn’t just ignore that fact 😂
Abbott and Costello "Who's on First" when? Lol.😁
Streaking with your dad, to be fair, sounds MORE like the behavior you'd see in UK football stadiums than US baseball stadiums.
Yeah this is fair enough 🤣 Appreciate the comment!
Of all the questions you could have asked, I'm glad you went with "How do you streak and forget you have a sock on?"
We like to ask the important questions 😂
I was 15 and had just went to my 1st Ranger game just a week before this game... can still hear the anouncer's frantic call. crazy
There has to be a video out there just on Billy Martin. One of the all time personalities in baseball.

This makes Philly sports fans look pleasant!
What do you mean? We are! 😀
Been waiting for this! Great job as always Gents!
Thank you, really appreciate your support 🙏
You have now been introduced to Billy Martin, who was fired as Yankees manager 5 times!
Look up "best Manager ejection's in baseball" Earl Weaver was hilarious. Billy Martin too. You'll laugh your ass off
Back then, Newport cigarettes were 75 cents. A hamburger at McDonald's was 45 cents. I was 3 in 74. As a grown man now I want a 10 cents beer lol
I would love 10 cent beer!!
Billy Martin, the Rangers manager, was known throughout his career (Yankee player, Yankee manager, Oakland As manager--and an excellent manager, too) for being feisty, combative and even getting into fist fights. He was fearless--trying to fight Reggie Jackson, a great Yankee player when Billy was the Yankee manager, in the Yankee dugout. He is worth a video of his own by you guys.
Thanks for the comment Greg, really appreciate it and will definitely add him onto the list 💪 Sounds like he’d be worth a look.
Don’t forget the George Brett pine tar incident
It was Billy Martin who blew a kiss to the crowd. Given who he was, they were lucky he didn't go into the stands and start punching people. Martin was infamous for his thin skin and bad temper.
Please watch a video about Disco Demolition Night.
They don’t call it “The Mistake by the Lake” for no reason.
I had never heard of this. Then it starts "..in Cleveland"....well....I'm shocked...

Now that does sound interesting 😂
9:44 and 9:48 those aren’t the images from the 1974 10 cent beer night- Those are just stock images of streakers from more recent years

The 10 cent beer night promotion is why, prior to the Pitch Clock being introduced, teams would stop serving beers at the 7th inning.
One of the all-time great (?) moments in MLB history
Great is debatable 😂
Right up there with Disco Demolition Night
@@DNReacts That is why I added the ? haha.
Notorious more like
"and nothing could go wrong. OH NO IT ALL WENT WRONG"
ALL of it!
What happened in the 1st game that led to the fight?
A player slid into base and took out the baseman. In retaliation the pitcher threw 90mph fastballs at the heads of the next couple of batters.
thats 63 cents by today's money.
Better than Dollar Dog Night! Haha
Just crazy, wouldn’t buy anything these days 😅 Appreciate the info, thanks
I had never heard of this, this is downright hilarious!!! I did not think it could spiral so much out of control LOL
Glad you enjoyed the video Bill. You were as stunned as we were I’m guessing! Really appreciate the comment 🙏
@bill bliss idk if you listen to podcasts, but the dollop did a well done, in-depth episode on this event
I was born in Cleveland in 1978, so I got stories about this anytime I was around my Dad and his buddies for a good part of my childhood.
Another good one to watch would be the Braves vs padres brawl from 1984. Not as crazy as this but still a little wild.
The reason it's 'one of the worst' and not 'the worst' is because of the disco demolition promotion.
I’ve not heard of that!
The first fight started due to the fielder getting railroaded.
I'm an American and had never heard of this. Crazy! .o
Up until the all out brawl this was hilarious! People chugging beer from the tap, throwing hot dogs and non stop steaking. 😂 Also, the massive balls on the player who while this was going on blew the opposing fans a kiss! 😂 Total chaos!
First heard about this from old radio show archive; Opie & Anthony.
If there’s any movie that should be “Based On A True Story”, it’s this event.
My father taught at Youngstown south highschool in the 80's and 90's. Mostly a black student body they never had a baseball team until 87 or 88 they had enough kids to try it! First ( and only) game was against Youngstown Rayen, in the 3rd or 4th inning a fight broke out BOTH teams grabbed bats and that was the end of the baseball team at Youngstown south
Ah the 70's. Something like 10-cent beers would sound good then. Billy Martin was a fighter. He was in a few bar fights back in those days.
I found it funny the narrator mentioned 25k being a big crowd for the Indians. That didn't even make 1/3 of the capacity of the stadium: a dual-purpose edifice shared w/ the Browns. 78k meant a sellout for baseball. The Indians occasionally hit that mark when they would get off to a good start for a season.
Congrats on 19k!!
Thank you so much!
Just think… That 60,000 beer total was only up until about the fourth inning when the girls abandoned the trucks and everybody got free beer. That doesn’t count all the beers consumed from the fifth inning onwards. And yes, it really was two teenage girls… Believe they were about 14 or 15 serving the beer.
When you couples this with the 2001 game between the Jacksonville jaguars and Cleveland Browns and Cleveland with the fans, then Cleveland starts to build itself a bit of a reputation… I think you guys reacted to that game the game the NFL wanted you to forget.
That was a catch though😂 😂
Four really funny enjoyable baseball

You could do a video just on Billy Martin, the Rangers manager in this video, but more known for his career as the Yankees manager. If any manager in baseball history would blow a kiss to the drunken crowd, it would be him.
They need to review “Disco Demolition “ Comisky Park!
Appreciate the suggestion, thank you 🙏
The manager that blew the kiss to the fans is BILLY MARTIN. You guy have to review a video of him. One if the most insane.. IN A GOOD WAY.... craziest, most colorful managers in baseball ever. HE DIDNT CARE!!! Lol
You gotta check out Disco Demolition.
i wish a team had another 10 cent beer night. Out of all the chaos I know that was probably the best game of any sport most people have even been to.
As a measure ,in 1974 the average price of a beer at a baseball game was 65 cents. Adjusted for inflation , 65 cents is the equivalent of $3.50 today
That’s just baseball being baseball
Your reactions and theorizing of the conversation that occurred between the father and son streakers had me laughing so hard I was crying!
Check out the 1979 Chicago White Sox “Disco Demolition Night” fiasco for another great fan fiasco.

Mates…You should really check out another Sports Promotion Debacle from 1979 at the Chicago White Sox, Comiskey Park … The White Sox GM Bill Veeck long considered a master promoter, invited Steve Dahl ( Chicago Rock radio shock jock) to have a promotion there between games of a twi-lite doubleheader with the Detroit Tigers called Disco Demolition Night, there was a 98 cent price for admission (resulting in 50,000 people in attendance mostly teenagers & twenty somethings) where they literally blew up a huge pile of Disco Records on the Field, It turned into a complete Riot, with more than 7,000 teens storming the field stealing the bases and tearing up the field… forcing MLB to cancel game 2…..It was the most surreal experience of my life…Good Luck Jjh
You’ll never find ol’ Billy hiding behind anything
no cellphones in sight, people just living in the moment
😂😂😂
I was 17 in 1974 I graduated high school that year but I live in California so I was no where near Ohio nor do I ever wanna go to Ohio. But the 70s, what a great party, what a great time we had in the 70s.. you know they say, and I believe if you weren’t around in the 70s, you missed everything lol.
Legend has it those two teenage girls are still running.
And this wasn't even the worst Cleveland sports promotion ever. That honor (honour) belongs to the short lived Cleveland professional softball team. Seriously the dumbest idea ever and alcohol was not involved.
As a Cleveland Indian fan I approve this message
People were not pansies in the 1970's
On a totally unrelated note, there was a runner picked off at first base in yesterday's Mariners v Angels game. I seem to remember you wondering if pick-offs really happen.
That's unlimited beers at $0.64 cents each in 2023, straight mayhem. 🤣
Another bizarre suggestion: Mike Milbury’s shoe. NHL fans will know what I’m referencing lol
"Here's ten dollars. I'll have a hundred beers, thanks".
People will always find ways to take advantage of something good and turn it bad. Just like the internet.
The impressive thing is that the Indians had ANOTHER ten cent beer night scheduled for like three weeks later. And they did not cancel it. It actually went off (mostly) fine. The problem was clearly the Rangers...
The sock-streaker is smart (but woulda been smarter with two): if’n the security guards get him, he’s got a _slightly_ higher chance of slippin’ their grips and running for an extra few yards before getting his ass pounded into the field! 🤪
Check out Barry Sanders highlights. Best running back ever. And also Weapon X Brian Dawkins.
Barry is ok the channel already and Dawkins is coming very soon!!
@@DNReacts Ok. Thanks. I am an Eagles fan. Looking towards your B-Dawk reaction! Cheers! 🍻
Also, ironically, Mike Hargrove, the Rangers' first baseman, ended up managing the Indians for most of the 1990s.
The video didn’t mention how the River caught on fire….
Imagine this at a Premiere League rivalry match. What would the potential casualty count be? 😂 Also, this is THE most Cleveland thing ever
Larry! Larry! Larry!
Its not that crazy, when I was in college (UT) in the 70's. the 'K-Jays (Knoxville Bluejays) had $0.25 Beer Nights at least once a summer, it was a rowdy crowd, a lot of fun. Naked streaking at football & baseball games was a big thing in the early 70's, lol.
In Jax florida about 15 years ago they had Thirsty Thursdays at the AA ball park. 1 dollar beers, no max just only sold 2 at a time.
Yeah my beer at Angels stadium cost me $16
Imagine getting drunk with only a dollar😂
Find a video on the manager Billy Martin, he’s that guy, ballsy
The promoter got fired for that and never worked in baseball again...lol I til he got a minor league gig decades later...and had .50 beer night...lol
Props to him for sticking to his vision 😂
