CLEVELAND, June 4, 2024 (Newswire.com) - On the 50th anniversary of the notorious and cataclysmic Ten Cent Beer Night riot, Evergreen Podcasts is pleased to present the meticulously researched docudrama Heading For Home: A Ten Cent Beer Night Odyssey. Fans, awash in cheap beer, streaked, chanted obscenities, pelted the players, then charged the field and brawled viciously.
The Heading For Home podcast dramatizes the incredible true story of the Ten Cent Beer Night riot of June 4, 1974, at Cleveland Stadium during the baseball game between the Cleveland Indians and the Texas Rangers.
Narrated by Eric Olsen and replete with characters, sound effects, original music, streakers, flashers, a flood of cheap beer, drunken lunacy, and fans brawling with ballplayers in eight fast-moving episodes, Heading For Home places you in the middle of the action!
