22. …Then Go From Bad to Worse
Letting fans get their brew straight from beer trucks turned out to be a mistake. The thirsty throngs threw aside a picnic table as they stampeded for the trucks. Unfortunately, the Indians’ management had failed to beef up staffing or security for the beer trucks: they were overseen by two teenaged girls, who quickly fled when things got ugly.
With no one to stop them, the fans treated the beer trucks like their private kegs, with some even drinking straight out of the trucks’ hoses as if they were straws. Things got even rowdier when a pair of drunk dudes got up on the wall, and started mooning the crowd. They loved it. And it was still just the fifth inning (for non-baseball fans, the game has nine innings). There was still a ways to go before the night was over.
