After confirming mob ties OTD 1979 Nevada Gaming shut down the Aladdin Hotel #LasVegas casino. A judge issued a temporary restraining order and it was reopened 3 hours later. Drama ensued and eleven months later Gaming closed it again.

On June 4, 1974, the Cleveland Indians had one of the worst ideas in sports history: 10 cent beer night.

A cup of Stroh's went from 65 cents down to a dime. Limit of six per trip to the counter, but you could go back as many times as you wanted. So basically unlimited beer.

It gets better. A week earlier these same two teams had brawled in Texas, so Cleveland fans showed up already wanting blood. About 25,000 packed the stadium, way more than expected.

By the middle innings it was total chaos. Fans were setting off firecrackers, throwing hot dogs and rocks, and running onto the field. A woman flashed the crowd. A father and son ran out and mooned the outfield. Streakers everywhere. Rangers manager Billy Martin just stood in the dugout blowing kisses at the drunks screaming at him.

Then the Indians tied it 5-5 in the bottom of the 9th. That's when it fully broke.

A kid ran out and grabbed Rangers outfielder Jeff Burroughs' cap. Burroughs stumbled, and Billy Martin thought his player was getting jumped. So he grabbed a bat and led the entire Rangers team charging onto the field to fight the crowd. Then the Indians came out with bats too, to protect the Rangers from thousands of drunk fans.

A reliever got hit in the head with a steel folding chair. The umpire, Nestor Chylak, got cut by a thrown rock and a piece of a stadium seat, and needed stitches.

He forfeited the game to Texas on the spot and called the fans "uncontrollable beasts," saying he'd never seen anything like it "except in a zoo."

The best part? Cleveland had four more beer nights already scheduled that season.

From the looks of my replies when I post a “batflip” I think the majority of my followers want to see this every time a player flips his bat

Wait for it

Folks trying their luck inside the Westerner in Downtown #LasVegas. Opened by Benny Binion, he sold out and moved down the street. The casino operated until 1962. It then became Club Bingo before being absorbed by the Pioneer Club. Now it's the ABC Store.

Today in 1976: Toby Harrah becomes the 1st SS in MLB history to go through an entire doubleheader without a fielding chance. He does get 6 hits, including a grand slam in the 1st game & another HR in the nightcap.
