Before the aforementioned Major League movies, the only claim to fame the Cleveland Indians had was a racist mascot. But on June 4, 1974, Ohio's weaker baseball franchise decided to try and fill their stands by offering all-you-could-drink beer for the lip-flappingly insane price of ten cents a cup. Where It Went Wrong Bottomless beer cups at a dime a piece will bring people back from the grave. They might as well have offered buried pirate treasure to everyone that bought a ticket. 25,134 rowdy friends showed up to Cleveland Municipal Stadium that night and, unsurprisingly, proceeded to behave like drunken retards. Pot and firecrackers were being lit before the first at-bat was over, and by the fourth inning two people had run naked onto the field. The visiting Texas Rangers were pelted with everything from batteries to wine jugs, but things didn't really get out of hand until a fan landed in the outfield and attempted to steal the cap of Ranger Jeff Burroughs. Texas Manager Billy Martin picked up a bat and exited the dugout to protect his player in a display of steel-balled awesomeness. Both team's benches followed Martin, and what ensued was one of baseball's most dangerous and drunken riots. The Backlash The game officially ended when a hunting knife pierced the ground next to an umpire. He called a forfeit in favor of the Rangers and then rushed into the locker room to shake the terror-poop out of his pants. Future beer nights at Cleveland Municipal were changed from unlimited amounts to four cups per customer, which research indicates is the precise amount of alcohol required to actually enjoy three hours of baseball.

My brother has worked there as an electrician for 31 years and his wife is retired from the line in Engine Plant #1.
EDIT: I wrote the above before reading the link, sorry.
Not a problem. Actually,the Ford engine was totally taken apart by the Italians,lightened,balanced and equipped with a carburetor of their own.A friend of mine scared his engine up to 600 and some Hp. I never drove my car on the track but twice the speedometer to the bottom. + 200mph

And Sokolowski's University Inn where many of the interior bar scenes were filmed.

There is also a 351 Windsor which is supposed to be the same but for some reason just didn't have the zip of the American built one. I used to have one in '72 Cougar in my younger days. It still amazes me that I actually lived through having a car with an engine and blind spot like that in my 20s.

I don't think I knew Harvey Pekar and R. Crumb, although I spent a lot of time hanging out in Coventry. I sure remembering heading to the local Comics store to pick up the new Fritz the Cat of Zap comics.
I really loved Cleveland! It's a great city!
