June 4, 1974: "10 cent beer night" was a disaster for the Rangers and Indians
In 1971, my brother and I attended “10 cent beer night” in Milwaukee. It was crazy and we weren’t old enough to buy one! At one point, the police had to intervene and arrest several fans in the parking lot to stop them from driving home under the influence. It was a disaster.
Many years ago or this day in 1974, they tried it in Cleveland and it did not work out again. It was a disaster in Cleveland and the game forfeited to protect players from drunk fans. We are happy to report that the idea was never tried again!

1876: Coast to Coast train in 83 hours
On this day in 1876, a train left New York and arrived in San Francisco 83 hours later. This is the story:
The arrival of the Transcontinental Express train in San Francisco on this day in 1876 was widely celebrated in the newspapers and magazines of the day. With this new express service, a businessman could leave New York City on Monday morning, spend 83 hours in relaxing comfort, and arrive refreshed and ready for work in San Francisco by Thursday evening. The powerful agent of steam had effectively shrunk a vast nation to a manageable size.It must have been a wonderful feeling to travel across North America in days. It opened up the West to thousands of immigrants seeking a better life.
