Ep. 70: The 10 Cent Beer Night Disaster, Cleveland OH

This week we’re going back to our oddity category. You know that Crystal is a huge fan of baseball, and she came upon a story that’s almost too wild to believe.

In 1974, the Cleveland Indians (the team now known as the Cleveland Guardians), had a problem with dwindling attendance. They hadn’t attracted a crowd in years and were perennial losers.

So some marketing genius thought up the idea of 10 cent beer night - and it went about as well as you might expect.

Baseball chaos galore.

On What We’re Watching, we talk about one of Crystal’s favorite movies - the 1989 comedy “Major League.”

On Layla and Coffee talk, the girls become pack leaders as Brett’s parents were in town. They had to keep everyone in line.
