On ten-cent beer night, when an estimated 60,000 cups of brew are sold to a crowd of 25,134, the Indians forfeit the game due to the unruly behavior of their fans. June 4, 1974.

May be an image of 3 people and crowd

I remember hearing about this. I think it was free bat night too. So the first 2000 fans in the door also got one of those little free bats.

back in the 70s a free bat was probably the regular size

THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

First Drive-In Theater Opens in New Jersey (1933)
The drive-in theater was the creation of New Jersey chemical company magnate Richard M. Hollingshead, Jr. In 1932, Hollingshead nailed a screen to trees in his backyard and set a projector on the hood of his car. After applying for a patent for his creation, Hollingshead opened the first drive-in the next year. Though it only operated for three years, the concept soon caught on in other states.
