On June 4, 1974, in the bottom of the ninth inning, a Cleveland Indians fan ran on the field and tried to steal Rangers outfielder Jeff Burroughs' hat. Burroughs tripped while attempting to confront the fan, and his teammates, thinking he’d been attacked, charged out to protect him. Around 200 Indians fans surged onto the field in response, many armed with makeshift weapons from the stadium seats they’d already torn apart. Cleveland manager Ken Aspromonte then ordered his players to attack their own fans with baseball bats in order to help the visiting Rangers. One Cleveland reliever was hit in the head with a folding chair, and Rangers first baseman Mike Hargrove had to win two fistfights just to get back to his dugout. When the players escaped, the rioting continued, bases were stolen, and the umpire who forfeited the game to Texas was struck in the head by a stadium seat. Finally, the Cleveland PD had to be called in to stop the fighting. What infamous promotion at Cleveland Stadium contributed to this state of affairs?
