TEN CENT BEER

On June 4, 1974 the Texas Rangers and Cleveland Indians tried to play a baseball game. They were not entirely successful.
Special thanks to Jon Bois, without whom I wouldn't even have thought it possible to make something like this.

Ten Cent Beer Night

This video is sooooo well made! It’s a shame this doesn’t have more views. Genuinely a fantastic film!

[@peytoncabral7149]

This is tremendous, man. If Jon Bois dubbed this over, I’d have no problem believing he made it. Fantastic soundtrack, too.

[@chlduiowks]

This is an incredible piece of work-- a true Opus Magnum.

[@acereaper201]

wow is this amazing work man! I dont know whats more confusing how this video is 2 years old and less than 2.5k views or the fact you have less than 100 subs... hope you create more !!!

[@thomasgreene5750]

Ten-cent, 12-ounce beers were a staple on college campuses in the mid-1970s. Those were good days.

[@haydenanderson2121]

This video is phenomenal my man! What a fantastic story! Your script is enthralling, and your speech is eloquent. Great stuff! Excited for more!

[@thebaseballprofessor]

Have you pitched this to ESPN? It's pratically ready to go as a 30 for 30. Character development, cohesive narrative, pacing, mixture of text and spoken word, clever editing. It's a real statement. I wish you well!

[@gregoryking7266]

You make ONE very convincing Jon Bois style film and that's it? 👏 👏👏👏

[@jonmiller4361]

Amazing video my man. Hopefully the algorithm is picking you up

[@rmyers99]

Soundtrack goes perfectly along with this story, bravo.

[@mattsb5196]

Well done video. Production quality and content is ridiculously good. No Puppet, also.

[@oreeoth6771]

fantastic piece! i cant believe i havent seen this before now!

[@ryanphi5685]

Notifications on. Here from jon bois

[@ryanphi5685]

Like I literally am rewatching this 2 weeks later. Shit is very good

[@flaccidwhitecoat]

How the fuck does this have only 689 views

[@henrywallacesghost5883]

Should just call the video Cleveland 😂

[@bencrawford7289]

This is good stuff man, I’d love to see another pretty good-inspired video from you

[@staidenofanarchy]

This is incredible and you've got a sub + notif, good sir. Well done.

[@luisreyes1963]

Cleveland: America's cradle of civilization....🤣

Using a bunt up first base line to force a pitcher close enough to run up his back is nothing new. 'Contact' hitters would use this for payback and it wouldn't be as obvious as charging the mound, possibly avoiding a fine and suspension. Clip of Jackie Robinson forcing the pitcher and first baseman towards foul line and since they were not close enough to run over, he took out the second baseman covering first @ 1:09... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2TQnHtsZ8qBja8 Who sez it isn't a 'contact' game? It's pronounced See-zarr Toe-var. When it came to streakers, David Niven after being interrupted during an Oscar show said "...isn't it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?"..." Good chance that Billy let be known that he would back up any Rangers player who bunt/collision play, he may had pulled that off as a player. Your analysis of Billy is correct, just that the Yanks first hired him during the '75 season. Lowenstein always had a flair for the dramatic moment. Photo @ 31:00 is of "Disco Demolition Night' in Chicago, not the 10 cent beer night. Just over 2 years later, I experienced a out-of-control riot at Yankee Stadium when Chambliss hit the homer to win AL pennant. The stampede down the aisles to the field was like nothing I'd ever seen in person as a 16 year old - frightening. This was fueled by excessive drinking and drugs before and during the game - you could smell the pot almost everywhere - not to mention the substances taken in other ways. Teams were using security measures that assumed that customers were for the most part sober and/or respectful. So much for the 70's. Pretty well done, although a bit over-produced. I did my time in Bristol and this could pass for content from 'Mother Ship' but just remember Sal Marciano's words " happiness is seeing Bristol in your rear-view mirror..."

[@CalebDBarnes]

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing on r/jonbois!

[@trekker105]

Disco Demolition next?

[@luisreyes1963]

Hell Yeah! 😆

[@jackisback9856]

This is a great video!

[@samu6477]

This is really really good stuff.

[@Nicko7200]

This was, Pretty good.

[@_YakiP]

"ten cent beer night has become free beer night" is the most terrifying statement uttered

[@Jack_Greene]

this rocks!!

[@RetroBaseball]

Wonderful video, keep up the great work.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

This video is super impressive, I hope you got more where that came from

[@truckermikemct1]

One question: Ingoing beer means outgoing piss. Where did all that urine go? It is well known that Cleveland Stadium had inadequate restrooms.

[@luisreyes1963]

Eww...🤢

[@tommybreeze5476]

So so so well done! First time I've ever hit the notification bell after subscribing. We want more!!!

[@gerrylee1687]

Imagine they have 10 cents beer night todays games 😂😂😂

[@luisreyes1963]

The team front office would frown on that. $1 Beer Night would be to their liking. 🍺

[@dougclark7077]

One thing that you left out was the effect of Cleveland Sports Talk radio on the riot. In the days leading up to June 4, talk show hosts such as Pete Franklin fueled the tension by egging on listeners to take what the Rangers did the previous week as incentive to fight back when Texas came to town.

[@Jpk21]

This is one of my new favorite videos on the internet. The production value is amazing and for that, you have just earned your 78th subscriber. It's a shame this is your only video because i could spend a whole day watching stuff like this

[@garbageball]

@@Jpk21 Thanks! New stuff hopefully coming soon!

[@a.a.g.h.1679]

@@garbageballomg please do, I loved this!

[@Oranos2115]

great job! can't wait til the algorithm reminds me of this and I see it with 10,000+ views instead of ~600 you earned yourself a sub :)

[@Jackson65bass]

Andrew you did a great job explaining the whole situation what led up to it , the aftermath along with the history of what happened . I was 9 at the time of 10 cent beer nite , and by this time the Yankees had already ripped off the Indians blind with lop sided trades !! Keep up the good work

[@nezball]

found this in deposit kingdom. this is so good man!

[@jackisback9856]

Fantastic video, needs more attention

[@nomorefielders]

Well hey there
