Unfortunately Mick was unwell last week, so we bring you one of our most popular episodes. Wimbledon will be back next week.

On 4 June 1974, the Cleveland Indians decided to host a ten-cent beer night to attract fans; beer at the stadium normally cost 65 cents, so ten cents was a real incentive.

The Indians were in a 30-year slump at the time, as was the city, their river would catch fire with alarming regularity, so the scene was set for trouble. Oh, and it was a full moon.

The result was pure, unbridled chaos. There were streakers, firecrackers, a woman trying to kiss the home plate umpire and eventually, a full-scale riot.

Titus O'Reily and Mick Molloy examine a night that started badly and then got worse.

Titus has three live shows coming up in May in Melbourne. You can get tickets here.
