I can remember only two.
One was the final game of the season in 1971 when the Washington Senators played the New York Yankees. The Senators were moving to Texas and the game was the final game to be played in Washington. When there was two outs in the top of the ninth inning and the Senators were ahead 7-5, fans stormed the field and started tearing up sod and the bases. The stadium security detail could not restore order and the umpires awarded the game to the Yankees by forfeit.
The other game was in 1979. The Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers were playing a twi-night doubleheader. As a promotion to bring fans in, Bill Veeck, the White Sox owner at the time, allowed folks who brought a disco record to the gate with them to buy a ticket for 98 cents. The promotion was called Disco Demolition and, in between games, the White Sox management was going to blow up a dumpster that the records had been placed in. When the dumpster blew, the fans stormed the field. Fans ripped up home plate and the pitching rubber and started small fires in the outfield. Police in riot gear restored order but the Tigers refused to play on a field that had been damaged. The umpires consulted with the Commissioner, Bowie Kuhn, who declared the second game of the doubleheader forfeited to the Tigers.
