Today in History: Ten Cent Beer Night

Forty-two years ago today, the Cleveland Indians decided to prop up attendance at one of their games against the Texas Rangers by offering 12-ounce cups of beer for ten cents. Fans were allowed to buy six beers per purchase, with no limit on the number of purchases per fan. The result was nearly as disastrous as the Indians were that season.
