In keeping with our baseball theme, some lazy stupid blogging.
Actually, I wanted to pull together a longer post, but I’m all out of energy this week, plus I’ve posted on this subject before, so:
Ladies and Germans, today is the 40th anniversary of Disco Demolition Night.
There’s a book (co-written by Steve Dahl).
And the Sox commemorated the occasion before last night’s game, with Steve Dahl throwing out the first pitch.
Enough time has passed for the Sox to come to terms with Disco Demolition’s place in the team’s annals. They showed highlights of that night on the video board, including video of fans storming the field and damaging it so much the Sox had to forfeit the second game of that day’s doubleheader against the Tigers.
“It’s absolutely cool that it’s just part of the history, and not a shameful part of the history,” Dahl said. ‘It’s just something that happened, and honestly, it was just about the music.”
