According to MLB, some fans entered the game having already consumed a significant amount of beer before dishing out dimes for more inside Cleveland Stadium. The beer was doled out from trucks that the team had lined up just behind the outfield fence, per Better Marketing. As the throngs of thirsty fans converged on the trucks the two people left to pour the beer were two teenage girls who wound up having to fill cups like they were living in a real-world version of the old arcade game "Tapper."
With beer so cheap, shenanigans were sure to follow, and follow they did. One of the earliest was a woman who ran on the field and tried to plant a smooch on Hall of Fame umpire Nestor Chylak. He declined. A father and son also dashed onto the field and mooned the tipsy crowd. The antics were starting to get out of hand but weren't really dangerous until fans started throwing things.
Fans threw hot dogs and — believe it or not — shot fireworks that they had smuggled into the stadium at the Rangers dugout. However, while this was happening, Cleveland had managed to even the score at 5 in the ninth inning. Unfortunately, their fans ruined the opportunity for a come-from-behind victory.
