1979: Chicago DJ’s Steve Dahl and Gerry Meier stage a “Disco Demolition Night” at Comiskey Park in Chicago. The event is supposed to feature a bonfire of disco records between games of a Chicago White Sox doubleheader.

Unfortunately, many fans start flinging records around the ballpark during the first game, leading to fights and a mini-riot. The resulting pandemonium causes the Sox to forfeit the second game.
