Alright, let's do this.
Anyone have a Kleenex?
Okay.
Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
Ground was broken
on June 24th, 1930.
facility officially opened
just over a year later,
and become home
to the Cleveland Indians
and Chief Wahoo.
The Indians won the
World Series in '48,
and won the American
League pennant in '54.
The Browns were
a championship team.
Local DJ Alan Freed introduced
the world to Rock and Roll.
Cleveland was
Decades of heartbreak.
Bad trades and bad luck.
In '69, the Cuyahoga River
caught fire,
and the story made
Time Magazine.
That incident turned Cleveland
into the worst kind of joke...
a running joke.
The city had gained
a catchy slogan:
"The Mistake on the Lake."
- Hi, Nick,
this is Fairview Park
Senior Care calling.
Your mother is
feeling tired today.
We don't think she
should go out in the cold.
We're paging the doctors.
She said she'll call you
in the morning.
- Hey, what's going on, amigo?
Yeah, I need you to vaminos
over to my house,
take me by my brother's place.
Come on, man.
It's Christmas Eve,
not Christmas Day.
Merry Christmas!
Hey, Valerie.
What's crack-a-lackin', girl?
Yes.
Yes, you can be on the clock.
Alright.
Gracias.
Not in that shirt.
- Hey, what's going on?
- Hey, Luis.
- So where does
your brother live?
- In those rich-ass old houses
over by Lakewood Park.
- Oh, there are some
really nice homes over there.
- He sure as hell didn't
pay for his, believe me.
- A present.
- Huh.
Thanks, Luis.
You're my Number 1 Guy.
And I'm your Number One Boss.
- The family
business keeps me afloat.
with a lawnmower,
a pickup truck, and a dream.
Now 40 years later the business
- Bet you never gave this
to your bosses in Mexico.
- Puerto Rico.
- Same thing.
- It's not.
- Yeah, it kind of is.
- It's a commonwealth
of the United States.
- What?
- Gotta get gifts first, Luis.
Oh!
Blue tape.
Everybody needs blue tape
every once in a while.
They got a teenage
boy at the house.
Kids love flashlights.
They go nuts for 'em.
Blank VHS.
Who doesn't like blank VHS?
Nobody.
That's it for gifts.
Alright, let's party.
- Good?
- Yeah.
- I need something
that a girl will drink,
something with a
little punch to it.
Oh, Luis, you have a daughter.
- Oh, she doesn't drink.
She's only 12.
- She's drinking.
Believe me, they all drink.
- Probably.
- One last thing.
- Ladies like this
Fire and Ice stuff?
- Yeah.
- Alright.
It's gonna be an awesome night.
June 4, 1974,
scheduled to take on
the Texas Rangers.
That year, attendance at
Municipal Stadium averaged
but on this night
over 25,000 would show up.
They came for 10 cent beer.
Management thought
this promotion
would be a great way
to drive up attendance.
Who could say no to
a cup of brew for a dime?
You could buy up to
6 beers at one time.
There was no cutoff.
The Indians had
played the Rangers
six days before in Texas.
There was bench-clearing brawl
and plenty of hard feelings.
But the real anger
was brewing in the stands.
The Rangers needed
to be taught a lesson.
The citizens of Cleveland
had been kicked in the gut
for far too long.
Tonight they were
going to fight back.
- Marcus!
- What?
- Pause your game
and get in here.
- I can't just pause it,
I'm playing online.
F***ing bullshit!
- Hey, language!
- I'll be there when
the match is over.
- So help me God,
if I come in there and you're
still playing that thing...
Sophie.
She ended her marriage
so she could have
a trophy husband:
my stupid brother.
- Oh, no, honey,
you're not going to wear
this tonight, are you?
- I got to advertise
my shirt designs.
Get the word out, get paid.
- God, I hate my brother.
I hate everything about him.
He's the baby of the family,
an accident,
on looks and charm.
- Can you just put on a nice
shirt like a normal husband?
It's Christmas Eve.
- Okay.-
- And now I
have to go over there
and celebrate Christmas with him
and his rich cougar new wife.
I'd rather be at a bar.
- Okay, okay, can you get
Marcus to come in here
and finish making
the popcorn garland?
And he's been playing since
he got up this morning.
- Well, let him play.
I can handle that job.
- No, leave it.
You'll screw it up.
That's not what I meant.
Can you go find Valerie?
She knows how I like it.
- Alright.
- But I'm
going over there anyway.
- To see her.
- Valerie?
- Hey, Val...
- Ugh, just come in,
I can't hear you.
- Hey, your mom, she needs
help with the popcorn garland.
- Valerie.
- F*** the garland.
- Yeah, I know,
it's annoying, but...
- Tonight she'll be mine.
- Hey, is your brother Nick
coming over today?
- That's what he said.
- Awesome!
That guy is a riot.
- You talk to him?
- Yeah, on Facebook sometimes.
- Why?
- Because he's a loser.
- You sound jealous.
- Jealous of a drunk
that got a DUI
in front of his own house?
I don't think so.
- Santa's here!
You need to lock your door!
- Look at this house.
Must be nice to
marry into money.
- Oh, Nick.
