There have been 128 forfeits in 139 years of big league baseball, but none as crazy as the Texas-Cleveland game of June 4, 1974.

A crowd of 25,174 showed up at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland that night, double the average attendance that season, for 10-cent beer night. It didn't take long for the game to degenerate into a drunken brawl.
