On June 4, 1974, the Cleveland Indians attempted to lure fans to their cavernous Municipal Stadium with a well‑meaning yet misguided promotion: Ten‑Cent Beer Night. It wasn't the first time they had tried something like this, but the timing on this summer night was much different.

The cheap suds, the lingering bad blood from a brawl with the Texas Rangers six days earlier, and a full moon combined to create a combustible atmosphere. We're sharing the story of how 25,000 fans—many already intoxicated—turned a baseball game into a surreal carnival of streakers, firecrackers, thrown chairs, and a ninth‑inning riot that forced players to protect one another from their own supporters.

Jack Molinas was once one of basketball's brightest stars — a 6'6" Ivy League prodigy with movie-star charisma and a gambler's soul. From the playgrounds of New York City to an NBA All-Star, he was living live... until the bets caught up with him.

Suspended for wagering on his own team, Molinas reinvented himself as a lawyer — only to become the criminal mastermind behind the 1961 college point-shaving scandal that rocked the sport. After prison, he resurfaced in Los Angeles chasing fame, fortune, and the wrong crowd. In 1975, his story ended like a Hollywood noir — gunned down outside his hillside home.

In this episode, we detial the arc of a man who blurred the line between genius and corruption and brought down dozens of college athletes in the process.

Richard Meissner had the swing, the talent, and even a spot in the U.S. Open — but behind the sunglasses and sweet tempo was a man robbing banks to keep his golf dream alive.

In this episode, we explore the unbelievable story of the aspring golf pro Richard Meissner, who disguised himself with wigs and mustaches, knocked off 19 savings and loans, and funded his PGA aspirations with stolen cash.

From his childhood in Maryland and stint in Vietnam to his dramatic downfall and prison reflections, Meissner's tale is as gripping as it is bizarre — a jaw-dropping journey into the underworld of one golfer's ambition gone criminal.
