North Olmsted Branch

Large Meeting Room (90)

Learn about this legendary chaotic night in Cleveland Stadium and the circumstances surrounding what was meant to be a normal baseball game.

See other dates and locations for this program on our events calendar.

The Indians hosted the Texas Rangers on June 4, 1974. It was supposed to be a run-of-the-mill Tuesday night game. But it turned into one of the most infamous games in baseball history.

Author Vince Guerrieri will discuss the events that included a rare combination of bad blood between the two teams, a promotion that was ill-advised in retrospect and a full moon.

Guerrieri is the author of Weird Moments in Cleveland Sports: Bottlegate, Bedbugs, and Burying the Pennant – and More!

About the branch

In 1829, Charles Hyde Olmsted promised to donate 500 books from his father’s collection if the residents agreed to change the name of their town from Lenox to Olmsted. They did and the books traveled by oxcart and were housed in individual residents’ homes while being circulated. The “Oxcart Library” is thought to be the first circulating public library in the Western Reserve.

This branch is a Student Success Center and a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Café location.
