 Hey, honey, grab the kids! How about we go catch a baseball game tonight? If that night was 1975 and the Cleveland Indians hope that it wasn't 10 cent beer night for the fans, the next morning, this is what the box score in the paper read. Indians in the ninth, 10 cent beer night promotion. Fans erupted from the stands at this point and charged Rangers right fielder Jeff Burroughs. Both benches cleared in support. Fans had continually disrupted the game by running onto the field and throwing firecrackers into the dugouts. Game four fitted to the Rangers, two runs, four hits, zero earn run, two left on base, Rangers five, Indians five. Things backfired and that's what's happening on this season of Lash from the Past. Yep, things backfired. Welcome back to Lash from the Past season five, episode six. Lot of episodes. This is, this season is historical backfires. We've gone all the way back to Genghis Khan. We've done recent as the NBA, ABA merger. This one's a more recent one, 1975. It is a doozy of a story. Everyone needs to know this story, especially baseball fans or just history fans, I guess. So I'm excited about it. Little grounds keeping first. If you're listening on the regular old podcast app that we've been posting these on for the last two years, you're golden. Thank you for returning and listening and checking us out. We do have a new YouTube channel that just Lash from the Past. So if you wanted the video version, if you wanted to see Jake and I do this, it's completely backlogged, correct? We have every or almost every single episode up on the Lash from the Past YouTube channel. And this episode, if you're watching on the John Boy Media YouTube channel, this is baseball related. So I thought a lot of the John Boy Media YouTube channel people would get a kick out of this story. And if you want more Lash from the Past episodes, subscribe to the Lash from the Past channel. I'll put a link below. Bam. Jake, how you doing? I'm good, James. I'm good. Yeah, I think it's what gave me an early laugh on this one is, you know, we have done some stuff, you know, the fall of ancient Rome, Genghis Khan and his, you know, taking over of, you know, the largest basically what civilization there ever was. And now I like that we can bring it back to Tencent Beer Night in Cleveland because, yes, it may be slightly different historical impacts, but historical impacts nonetheless. Yes, keep hitting that mic. It's right in your hand motion. Yeah. Well, you know, you know, I've got these damn excited hands. How's the grounds keeping going on your end? Good. Just woke up excited. This is actually, I pivoted to this story because I know we both woke up early to record this and I was like, I want something that's going to be fun. So this one's fun. We like fun. And there's some background here. I don't know if the article I have, which is written by Frederick C. Bush. I like quoting whoever writes the articles. It's actually like Sabermetrics.com or something like that. But some background that I know is that Cleveland at the time, all the factories just got shut down. It was like high unemployment, people like turning to booze and drugs and sadness. And I think that plays a big factor in the story. So I don't know if the writer says it, but I just wanted to put that in there. The river was literally on fire at times in Cleveland because there was so much like debris and disgustingness. That might not be the scientific reason, but that's what I'm going to say. Okay. And yeah, I think I think the other thing, if you're not coming from a baseball background, I mean, we're talking the seventies or we're talking an interesting era of American history. You know, whether that's political for you, for me, it's disco. And I think that's interesting because Jim, I know there's another fiasco, which I don't know if we're going to talk about at the end, but I think it was in the eighties. They did a disco is dead party at one of the stadiums. And I think it's just as crazy as this story ends. They had to shut down the game basically. So I think it's funny that we were in this time of, you know, sports are kind of taking off and becoming even more popular. And they're trying to figure out the marketing and promotions that work for specific things. And there's going to be some misses along the way. And I think 10 cent beer night and death of disco fall under that. Yeah. So the interesting thing about this story is 10 cent beer night, as we'll learn when I once I get into the article, this wasn't like the first time it ever happened. It was somewhat common back then, but there's all these other things that were going on between these two teams and this game that made it crazy. So I'll just let's just get into it. All right, let's do it. Fans of baseball in the 1970s surely recall the jingle that touted baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. They go together in the good old USA. You like that jingle? It's not bad. They brought it back in our lifetime, right? Baseball dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet because I know it. Yeah, I'm trying to think of that's the order because something sounds slightly off, but no, it's it's the right idea. That's what the article says. Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. I think maybe the new version changed it a little bit. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Oh, okay. Well, that memorable advertising campaign debuted in 1974. The same year that a number of major league clubs believe that beer also mixed so well with baseball that it should be offered for 10 cents per cup on select occasions. When a common sense limit of two beers per person was set and fans were given chips that were good for the purchase of their discounted beers as was done by the Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers, then 10 cent beer night was simply a nice price break for fans. So you would get a chip and that would get you two beers for 20. So yeah, you'd get a chip or you'd get two chips and that was basically saying your beer that's normally, I don't know, a dollar at the time. We're trying to picture what the price of beer was in 1975 at a stadium. But yeah, if you gave them that chip, that's what you were supposed to exchange for a 10 cent beer, which we can, we already know how bad of an idea this is because not only do you get chip redistribution throughout the stadium, you get people with fake chips, you've got beer vendors that don't care about chips. So yeah, I mean this, this is a concept that up top when they have this original meeting for 10 cent beer night, they're like, yeah, we can contain it by giving people chips and anyone that's been in a situation where you know a lot of drinks want to get drank, that's not going to stop the people at all. Yeah. Well, they changed it to a six beer per purchase limit. Okay, so without any over oversight to keep fans from returning repeatedly. So you could walk up, give them 60 cents, get six full beers, drink them and then get right back in line and get six more beers for 60 cents. Starting to think I figured out the problem. To place the Cleveland Riot in full perspective, it is helpful to know of events from the Rangers own 10 cent beer night in Arlington, Texas on May 29th in which the Indians were the opponent in the bottom of the fourth inning of that game. Texas's land Lenny Randall slammed his shoulder into the midsection of Jack Bromer Cleveland second baseman in an attempt to break up a double play went in hard. Fine. Indians reliever Milt Wilcox retaliated in the eighth inning with a pitch that actually passed about six inches behind Lenny Randall's head. So what did Lenny Randall do to retaliate to that? He laid down a bunt to the first baseline and when Milt Wilcox went to field it just ran him over. Now that's baseball. I never seen that. Never even thought. Never thought that move. Never even thought that. Wow. For good measure. He also tried to but first baseman John Ellis Square in the nuts when they got to first. Well, little Jimmy tap who cares. We got a we got a competitor on our hands. Tiger out of the cage. Lenny Randall. I got to I got to look up a picture of Lenny Randall. I mean anyone who buns down the first baseline just to tackle the pitcher after he throws at your head. Some good shit. He was a lefty so that made it easier. Okay. Wow. Yo Lenny Randall was the same guy who blew the ball. Remember that old blooper where the third baseman is blowing the ball foul like he gets on his. Okay. He glades on the ground and starts blowing it. That's the same guy. Cool Lenny Randall. At which point fist to cuffs ensued in Arlington and that's obvious. Once order was restored on the field. Some overzealous Ranger fans showered the Indians players and manager can ask for Monty with food and beer as they returned to the dugout. So is Tencent beer night there. The fans were a little rowdy. There's a fight on the field. So they start throwing things onto the field beer and hot dogs and stuff like that adds up. It does adds up. Since the Rangers were due to play in Cleveland a mere six days later reporters asked Rangers manager Billy Martin if he was concerned that the Indians faithful might respond in kind. Billy Martin joked they don't have enough fans there to worry about that. That was certainly true on an average night in Cleveland in 1974 85% of the seats at home games were unsold only a couple thousand people came but June 4th would be different in response to the Texas fans actions and Martin's insulting quip Pete Franklin host of Cleveland's sportline program spent an entire week on the radio whipping Cleveland fans into a frenzy against the Rangers. Oh wow. So is that some like fear mongering going on basically is that not sports radio host dream that someone tells you someone tells your city that you don't have enough fans and now you're talking to your city you hear what they said about us do you hear it that scumbag Billy Martin said about us five days straight on the radio knowing they're coming back to town. I need you guys to be loud. We got to show him what Cleveland's all about. He lost his voice a lot. Well you know I'd I'd give a big speech about the kind of impact that we need to bring to this this upcoming game but I know there's not anybody listening to this so why even bother. There's not fans in this town back in five. Now for the weather Pete Franklin. Good job. I looks like such an old time radio guy. Classic old time radio guy like the bad hair. The big glasses. That's great. You had that recipe for retaliation and on top of that the Indians brass added a 10 cent beer night of their own which attracted 25,000 spectators. So fine we have to play in front of your crowd who's drunk off 10 cent beers. Well enjoy this. You're gonna have to play in front of our crowd who's drunk off 10 cent beers and guess what we're in the middle of a recession and we got a lot of people that don't have jobs and are angry. Yeah. Also another factor they say is that by the June 4th college had been out in Cleveland in May in May in Arlington College hadn't been out so they're much bigger college crowd that was closer to the summer. Yeah and I mean this is I mean not only is this college bait now like obviously but this is also again going back to the 70s in that time period where and it does factor into stuff like podcasts and Internet not being around. I don't know if you lived three four hours out side of Cleveland and you had some college buddies in a car. This was the kind of thing that you you tell stories about you'd be like yeah it 10 cent beer night in the car so we all hopped in we got crazy we threw hot dogs at the players crashed in the car drove back in the morning like that is I feel like that's half my dad's stories. Well your dad would love this the six beer limit fell by the wayside early. See that I was saying that about the two beer limit never mind the six beer limit as demand exceeded supply at the concession stands and the Cleveland Indians made the decision to just allow fans to have their cups filled directly from the beer trucks that were parked behind the outfield fences. Times are better. The outfield beer trucks were manned by young girls dressed scantily clad right and after a little bit they just said fuck this and left. Yeah so now it's just free beer night. That's great. I'm currently on the side with the fans. I'm also on the side with those young girls. Oh yeah. Everyone has done everything right except the Cleveland organization for not like tripling their security. You're soon I hope not going to be on the side of the fans. No no I think I think this comes down pretty quick. A significant not a significant number of fans quickly became inebriated from what. Yeah could have done that and their actions soon overshadowed those of the players on the field. The fact became evident after the Rangers Tom Grieve opened the scoring with the one out solo home run of Fritz Peterson. It wasn't Fritz Peterson the one that wife swapped. Oh might have been. I was going to say it's a name I'm familiar with. I don't know if it's due to baseball reasons or not. Fritz Peterson was the Yankee. He swapped wives with the Yankee. Wow this is post wife swap. Fritz Peterson with his new wife. So anyway he gives up a home run at the top of the second inning second inning. We're in the second inning. I thought it was going to be like fifth or sixth. Oh no we are just getting started as the next batter Jim Fragosi stood at the plate. A woman ran into the Indians on debt deck circle bared her breast to the crowd and then attempted to kiss crew chief Nestor Chilac who was umpiring at third base. I do like that they emphasized it was the crew chief. She wasn't just any umpire out there. Okay. She went for the crew. She was going for top brass. Yeah I don't I don't want any of these other guys. All right. Give me the crew chief. Why they even know that cares about that. So all right. So she tries to kiss the crew chief Nestor Chilac Nestor probably like that. Oh yeah. The Rangers took a two nothing lead in the top of the third on consecutive one out doubles by Jim Sunberg and Cesar Tovar with the only disruptions being occasional firecrackers that were set off throughout the game. Sure. It comes the third inning and you're like all right guys I guess we're just going to have to get used to the firecrackers those ain't stopping. Yeah and that's that's tough and you know if you've ever wondered you get on an airplane or you go to an event and they say no fireworks. I think we're going to find out why soon. Yeah I mean it seems pretty pretty obvious. However the fourth inning and the Rangers third run spurred one more fan nudity. Grieve belted his second homer and as he rounded third base a naked man slid onto the field and slid into second base. Now we have a picture of that man running. He's got really nice legs Jake. It's the first picture he's not naked. He's got one boot on his one sock I believe. I wonder if like he was getting like butter fingers like I got to get naked through streak and then the sock he was about to take the sock off of you and they're like you're out of time doing is OK or maybe he's got a really gross right foot. He didn't want anyone to see. Or he knew he was going to slide and he you know he nicked up his foot before. Yeah you're right he does you know for a picture taken from that time period. It's a good picture for him. Yeah it's a good physique. It looks like it's a body image. The lighting is hitting them really well. So yeah good for him. They never caught that guy. They said is what I read. He just lit in a second and he left. That's fine. Play play well. I think they're like well there's only there was only 50 security guards for twenty five hundred which is nuts. Yeah. So that guy is naked running on the field sign second base like do you want to catch him. I think you just say like fuck that. Yeah he'll he'll find his way. Although exhibitionism was it becoming a theme. The only hostility the crowd had displayed through the first three and a half innings was to boo every ranger player who came to bat. That's normal. I'm surprised that they were even focused on like when a new player came to bat like they were that tuned into the actual game play. Not just like yeah drinking and partying through the third inning. I know I know you're right but I mean that's not that hard to do. The first sign that the mood was turning ugly occurred in the bottom of the fourth inning when Leeran Lee laced a liner back toward the mound that hit Texas starter Fergus Jenkins in the stomach as Jankson as Jenkins lay on the ground in pain Cleveland fans began to chant hit him again harder hit him again harder hit him again harder. What's wrong with that. That's just human nature 101. It's a tough chant. I mean it's better than gladiator days are like kill him kill him. By the way Hall of Famer Fergus Jenkins and I think that's that's actually a funny and important note to this that like you know this is someone who's considered baseball royalty you know who will will look back on records at how good of a picture they were and you know how we view athletes now and again flashback to 1975 Fergie Jenkins is laying on the ground writhing in pain and there's you know twenty five hundred drunk screaming. What were they screaming. We want pain hit him again harder hit him again harder. It's a kind of harder. That's that's what the drunk Cleveland fans were bringing to Fergie Jenkins. See like that's so many words like nowadays I feel like it just be again again. Yeah right in like how I don't know who you know who who translated that you know was it one guy who talked to a reporter and his three friends were yelling that that's usually how it goes whenever like reporters say loud booze here for during Carlos Stan it's like five guys were booing crazily. Yeah anyway. Yeah dude Oscar Gamble was also in this game like this wasn't it reads like a triple A double A independent ball college game major league players Jenkins remained in the game but he gave up singles to the next two batters Charlie Spikes and Oscar Gamble that resulted in Lee scoring the Indians first run Lee made it to third on a close play on Spike single and Martin had come out to argue that call the fans emulating their peers in Arlington pelted him with their beer as Martin who is never one to back away from confrontation blew kisses to the stands and we have a picture of that as well Billy Martin just blowing kisses to everyone pretty crazy really good. I mean the fans were on top of the dugout had to be scary to be in the dugout. Billy Martin blowing kisses to a drunken angry horde got credit to Billy Martin. There's no security. It's a little nuts. They're throwing things at you. Yeah you're allowed to be like get me out of here. Neither team scored in the fifth inning but two men jumped the outfield wall dropped their pants and mooned both the crowd and the Rangers outfielders. Yep eventually the stadium people had Indians radio announcer Herb score implore the fans to not run on the field but as pleas fell on deaf ears as fans continued to run across the outfield one point I read they were just playing the game with people running on the outfield like they didn't stop the game form anymore. It's pretty good like normally you see people get uncomfortable if there's like a plastic bag blowing in the outfield but for this game on this day yeah there's just two floating right now let them be they'll get back you know the happy Gilmore scene where shooter McGavin is like go back to your shanties. Yeah that's this. Like that's very much this very much this. This is golf. This is a professional game. Stay in your seats in the sixth inning Toby Hurrah triple to drive in grief who had singled and for go see who had doubled sending grieve to third this gave the Rangers a five to one lead the Indians set about recouping those two tallies in the bottom of the frame bro hammer bro brahmer let off with a double bro hammer let off with a double and scored when Lee was safe on first baseman's Mike Hargroves fielding error Lee advanced the second base is the run scored Jenkins retired spikes but then was accidentally spiked by Lee in a play on a gamble ground out. Jenkins injury forced him from the game and Steve focalt took the mound. George Hendrick singled against focalt to bring Lee and cut the margin to five three. So we got a close game going on here. The next time Hendrick came to bat in the bottom of the ninth he started a game tying rally with a one out double off focalt as per Monty that was the Indians manager sent three consecutive pinch hitters to the plate Ed Crosby Rusty Torres and Alan Ashby Rusty Torres and Alan Ashby great names each registered a base hit good managing. Yeah. With Hendrick scoring on Crosby single John Lowenstein lofted a sack fly to center field that tied the game and the Indians had the potential winning run on second base with two outs at that point it became obvious that many of the fans cared more about carousing than about the game. Yeah. At some point they're lose interest. Yeah. That was that was that was before the game. How many people do you think pissed themselves in the stance of this game. You got twenty five thousand. You got free beer. Is it twenty five thousand or twenty five hundred because there's been a couple numbers set twenty five thousand. Okay. There's two thousand five hundred people. Well you said twenty five hundred before so I didn't know. So twenty five thousand. Then yeah people are peeing themselves. I think only the past out people again there's there's such a little order here that I don't think it's a big P on yourself. I just think it's a big P anywhere. Oh yeah. Wow. How many people do you think how many. What do you think the percentage was of peas in bathrooms versus peas wherever they were like you know just an empty seats are in the corner. I would put it at seventy five twenty five twenty five. Yeah I was thinking seventy thirty peas peas not in bathroom seventy. Yeah. Because why would you. Yeah. There's no order. Sucks if you're a female attending this game you're in a new world here. Where was I. Once more two men ran onto the field and one of them attempted to take right fielder Jeff Burroughs cap burrows kicked at the man and stumbled to the ground. Martin thought that burrows had been taken down and he led the Rangers out of their dugouts bat in hand to come to his players rescue. Now there's a picture of this as well and it looks like out of an old musical fight all the players running to the outfield with bats in their hands. Yeah Jimmy this is easily the best picture of all the pictures and I I don't know how you're how you're going to edit this up but I mean this is what needs to be shared because it's it's unbelievable it's unbelievable it looks like. Yeah I mean you said it looks like it's out of a musical or I was going to say like it looks like it was out of a real war if guns didn't exist but like bats were the weapon. Like that's what it really looks like it looks like a brigade heading out with their bats. And it's a again it takes you back and this picture really puts you in this timepiece because it's like whoa. Yeah and if you go back to there's a picture of them when they get to the outfield or another picture in the outfield and it's just you can see all the stuff on the field. Yeah and they were lying. Lots of stuff got thrown on that field. So they were so the Rangers run out to the outfield with their bats in hand to come to the players rescue as the Rangers charge so did hundreds of fans and the melee was on as per Monty now led the Indians into the fray to help the Rangers fend off the fans. So now you have two MLB teams against drunken fans. That's crazy that the Indians were like let's go help the Rangers out. This is fucked. Yeah I mean again and that's a good sign of how how truly rowdy it was that they were like you know we have to save them. I would love to know what Pete Franklin said on the radio after this like we showed them or oh guys we think we took it a little too far. But we Pete Franklin the radio guy was saying we did the best job a group of fans has ever done. You think he called the Indians pussies for not being on the fan side like turn coats Indians turned their back on us. All we were doing was defending them. Yeah sorry sorry for trying to help win the game. Yeah maybe I don't know that's tricky. Well that fracas ended the game. Nester old Nester was like is games over nine to nothing forfeit Rangers win. I don't know why they get nine to nothing. That was just a standard forfeit score. I guess so I don't know why didn't just leave the score the same. Maybe there's something about players coming on the field or something and you that was the old rule. I don't know I get the forfeit. I just don't understand why the score goes from like five to four whatever it was to nine nothing. No rules. The security force of 50 stadium officers and two off duty Cleveland police woman policemen and women were overwhelmed by the flow of fans and had to call for assistance 20 additional patrol cars responded. In the meantime players and fans like were being pummeled Cleveland pitcher Tom Hilgendorf suffered the worst injury of all the players when his head was cut by a metal folding chair that was thrown at him. There's a picture of that. I'm holding his head. Cop let them out. Geez. Borrows jammed a thumb and Chilac the umpire Nester was also hit by a chair and received a cut on one of his hands as a picture of that as well. Yeah the the umpires walking off the field beat up is actually sad. Yeah because that's when it's it's I don't know this is a fun story. You're like oh my God like these guys these guys had nothing to do with this and they're getting thrown at and stuff like that's that's awful. I agree. That's the one picture of the fight with the players it all looks like cool but the umpire walking off bleeding from the face is like fuck this pretty messed up pretty messed up situation. Frank Farone the chief of Cleveland Stadium security said that 12 people were arrested and put the scale of the riot in perspective by asserting we would have needed 25,000 cops to handle this crowd one cop per one person. Well I think you're over doing that but I would hope your cops aren't that bad or just like a couple guns. I don't know. You see the picture of the one Rangers player with the glasses on that looks like Drew Carey. Yeah that's that's burrows I believe that's burrows. Yeah. So he's the one that uh he got his hat stolen not wearing a hat in the picture he looks like Drew Carey. He's got a little Drew Carey vibe going and yeah man I mean you and I you know again this is normally history but we're also baseball guys but it's it's funny here in baseball names because I want to say I'm wondering if that's Sean Burroughs dad Sean Burroughs was a major leader for a while. Yep it is Sean Burroughs dad. So I mean imagine and that's that's the other thing that I've been grinning about because as the umpire picture is sad and the player stuff I mean just looks wild. I mean how much these people love baseball not the fans like the players like knowing that you're going to go out on a professional field and you could be attacked by a mob there's a lot of love of baseball so I'm that's that's kind of my win I'm taking from this story. Yo Jeff Burroughs won the MVP in 1974. So yeah I mean we've got. He hit 41 home runs in 1977 16 year career 355 career on base percentage 795 OPS so he had some talent. And that's the thing that I'm trying to put into perspective if you are one of our someone that knows baseball but like picture this story and OK Jeff Burroughs is Mookie Betts. Yeah like like it's it's insane to try to kind of draw these parallels where you can because it's I mean it doesn't seem real. No Nestor Chaluk was I right after the game claiming the fans were uncontrolled beast. I've never seen anything like it except in a zoo. Those are controlled bees in a zoo. Yeah those are controlled bees. So that's kind of yeah I should have said like the jungle or something. Yeah never been to the jungle though. Yeah they were uncontrolled bees. I've never seen anything like it except that time I went to that place where they have the controlled bees. Yeah that makes sense Nestor. They left the door open at the zoo. OK Martinick stole the Indians action is starting I am very proud of the Cleveland players. They saved their lives. Those fans just couldn't control themselves after drinking that beer. Amen. The game marked the first forfeit in major leagues since September 30th 1971 four years ago. That's not I was expecting a crazy date. It's four years prior was the last forfeit when fans when fans had stormed Robert F. Kennedy Stadium during the senator's last game in Washington DC before they moved to Texas and became the Rangers. Well that's kind of a cool. That's cool. That's admirable. Just want to Rangers are there were Rangers are the recurring theme in all of this. Wow. The New York Yankees had been the beneficiary in that game. Both the Rangers Hara and the Indians Dick Bossman Dick Bossman by that Dick Bossman. What a name. I'm going to look him up had been with the senators at that game and Bossman contrasted the event saying the fans in Washington were not mean. They were only looking for mementos this was mean, ugly and a frightening crowd. Yeah, they stormed the last game at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium because they wanted to be part of history and grab some dirt and the game result probably didn't matter at all. Grab a chunk of a fence or something. How about Dick Bossman being part of both? Yeah, well and that's obvious. That is obvious. Dick Bossman 11 year career. It's a pitcher three, six, seven era 82 wins, 85 losses. Tough. Tough better than I so much. How do you like this in terms of backfires? Hmm. So I mean, who's OK? So who's the technical backfire on just the Cleveland Indians? The Indians organization or event staff like whoever whoever said six beers per order. Is crazy. I think I've got it. I think I've got it. There was someone in the marketing and events in front office that was like. No guys like people aren't animals. This is going to be fine. We'll have a couple of the beer trucks with some of the beer girls if we need more and it's it's going to be a good time and they were adamant about it. They're like, man, Pete, you know, trust the people man and then this happened and that person became a laughing stock forever. So that's who the biggest backfire is on. I got the biggest backfire on whoever decided not to up security and and counter reps, whatever you want to call it, the foods that can can foods foods. What am I blanking on? Concessions up the employees for security and concessions when you go from five thousand to twenty five thousand. They didn't up any of that. Yeah. What are you thinking? Fifty security guards. There's pictures like with twenty fans on top of the dugouts while the game's going on. Yeah, I think that might even be the same guy. I've got I've got the events guy sticking up like we don't need extra security. We don't need we don't need extra concession people like people are there just be slightly longer lines for people to get their couple of and they love baseball. They're just going to be watching the game. Yeah, trust trust the game on this one. What if someone excuse me, sir, what if someone brings fire crackers? That's not going to happen. What if they start love, man? What if they start shooting their firecrackers into the opposing dugout? OK, well, now you guys are just being all right. All right. Banana lands. OK, yeah. Let's just what if what if they what do they bring a bomb? Actually, that's like a concern these days, which sucks. Yeah. Back then, nothing. Nada. What do you think you would have done in 10 cent beer night? Depends what age I am is 18 year old Jake Streaking. I mean, college years, Jake is around the field. I'm making contact with the field. OK. And that's obvious. Yeah. You want to be part of it. I mean, after that, I mean, maybe up to 25. So maybe it's an 18 to 25 range. I feel like I need to get involved outside of that. I think I'm like, oh, this is scary. I'm watching like I'm finding an empty section and just drinking and sitting and watching. I would have been a little bit of a wallflower at stadiums. I love people watching. Sure. And it sounds like a good time. There's no way I'm going on the field at any age. Too much of a pussy then and now. I think in college, you end up on there. You end up wallflowering like by the actual wall. Yeah. Maybe I'll just stand like right by the foul pole and watch. Yeah. Once once there's enough people on the field, you're like, OK. Yeah. Just go take a look. Yeah. Because you don't want to be at that event and say I didn't go on the field. I'm also pissing myself and throwing up probably. Probably. Yeah. I can see if I was like an Indian fan, I could see me being the guy like I'm trying to watch the game a little. Ooh, that's also true. There is because I'm a big like I want to watch the game. If you're one of those 5000 people that would normally be at the game. Oh my God, Jim, know what's really good in this? Know the that the I don't know if this is a not a prototype or a stereotype, but know how there's like the husband that books a vacation to somewhere beachy that. Oh, he also happened to book it during spring break. Oh, yeah. And then you have a family with all the spring breakers. Yeah. There it's kind of that image, but with the traditional baseball fans like, you know, should we get to a game tonight, honey? I feel I feel like we just haven't taken the kids to a game in a little while. Let's go tonight. Yeah, that's good. That's that's pretty funny. What if one of Nestor Childock's wife was there? He gets flashed. He a girl kisses him. She's pissed. Then later on he gets beat up. I hope Nestor didn't have any family and friends watching him ump that night. Yeah, and I doubt he did because that's a really weird thing. That's asking your friends or family to come watch you work. That's a little odd. I mean, if it if you work at a professional baseball game, I'm going to say it happens often. Yeah, I don't know. Being an umpire, they travel a lot. But if they come to your hometown, you're like, oh, right? If they're in your hometown, maybe. But I mean, they I'm assuming they traveled every week kind of like the players did. But yeah, well, I'll hope Nestor's family wasn't there. Maybe Nestor had a girlfriend in every city he went to. He was the crew chief after all. He was the crew chief. Did you see and this is the last picture in the slide show. There's a woman being pulled off the field by the police who just wanted to give out free kisses. I think she's the one that tried to kiss Nestor. Yeah, she's the one that flashed everyone and and tried to give out free kisses. But uh, yeah, you don't really want to be like I'm interested if and being flashed by her for sure. But I can go for every human on the earth. Yeah, it's not an exciting flash. But look how happy she is. So good for her. Oh yeah, she's drunk, man. Happiness is key. It is this one fan. His shirt is so weird. He got all he's all cut up in the face. He's got cut up on the eye. Yeah, that shirt just looks like he owned that from the 1950s until 1975. Yeah, it's funny because we do have a lot of images of drunk people. That's a drunk picture. Yeah, that guy's like, oh, that guy is that guy is hammer. This guy, he's not in the college student section. This guy is the guy that got laid off at the factory. Yeah, this guy. This is this is the guy that got riled up by the sports radio guy. And the security guard hold them back. Looks like Babe Ruth. Wait, did those you're telling me those Texas guys said we're not as good a fan as them. I'm in a Francis night in Philly. I'm gonna get angry drunk. The two cops are security guards. One looks like Babe Ruth, a good Babe Ruth and the other is so old like this this old guy counting as one of the 50 security guards. No, he doesn't. Doesn't count. That's now you see why they said they needed a body on a body. That's like an 80 year old men trying to roll up a riot. Like that dude that dude hung it up after this. Let's go through some pictures. I'll put them on the screen on the YouTube. So this picture has a fan on the ground. And I don't know who this player is number 21 for the Rangers. He's throwing shots at the dude's head. Oh, yeah. We've we've got a fan that's just getting beat up and Matthew McConaughey in the background. I want to find out who that player is. I might be Hunter Pence. Look at that guy. They don't have a baseball references and have like uniform numbers stuff. There's one other picture that is Hunter Pence in the background there. Yeah. And there's one other picture of like. I think it's that same fan. And oh, you think it's a before and after. Yeah. I think you think it's think we're looking at the before and out. Yeah, for sure. So number 21 is this dude on the on the right. This short dude. Look at the cop in the background here. He's wearing dark sunglasses. It's a night game. He doesn't count. Can't see. Yeah. He's all right. So we're down to 48 cops. What the hell? All right. That ends this one historical backfire. Thank you guys for listening. Like I said, if this is the first last from the past because you're tuning in on John Boy media, we have a back catalog. Cattle cad. We have a back catalog of almost 100 shows. We have five different seasons 21 episodes in season one that are just random one off hilarious stories. Season two was a pretty in depth coverage of the Civil War and the weird stuff that happened there and some of the wild stuff that happened Civil War season three was historical mysteries. That was a ton of fun. Season four was children who made history. There's some really good ones in there and now historical backfires. We've been doing this for a while. It's a lot of fun. Thank you guys and we will be back next Tuesday.
