July 12, 1979,
The Chicago White Sox stage “Disco Demolition Night” at Comiskey Park. After the Sox lose the first game to the Detroit Tigers, 4-1. Over 5,000 fans run onto the field, the fans refuse to leave the field of play and the Disco Demolition Night promotion gone awry. Mike Veeck’s promotion involves admitting fans for 98 cents with a disco record, collecting the vinyl and then literally blowing up the LPs and 45s in center field.
After a delay of more than an hour, the umpires rule the field unplayable, causing the ChiSox to forfeit the second game.

It didn’t take long for the realization to set in that rock fans under the influence of beer and drugs and armed with disco records they’ve been invited to destroy don’t mix with baseball.
