Description
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
