Today marks the 30th anniversary of the day that the old Comisky Park in Chicago held a disastrous promotion celebrating the backlash against the disco music genre. Originally, records and 8-tracks were detonated in the outfield, but soon chaos erupted and the rally turned into a full scale riot.
It caused the White Sox to forfeit the game that day and many unruly people were arrested.
Today people talk about it as a black day in broadcasting history as it was widely promoted by a Chicago area disk jockey.
