Disco Sucks Night was in Chicago. Cleveland had a riot over ten-cent beer.

Thanks. You're right, of course. I'm an NL guy, so all those DH towns are the same (but at least I didn't blame a bureaucratic snafu and refile my tax returns).

I’m in Pittsburgh, so I’m an NL guy too. But I remember when both of those happened.

There were actually 3 games during the 1970’s that had to be stopped and forfeited:

The Washington Senators’ last home game in 1971 (fans rushed the field in the 9th. inning and began tearing up the sod and the bases).

Ten Cent Beer Night in Cleveland in 1974

Disco Demolition Night in Chicago in 1979

Rusty Torres, a reserve outfielder from Puerto Rico, was unlucky enough to be on the field for all three.

I don't get it. What could possibly go wrong?
