I was at Tigers opening day that year, I think there were 7 streaking episodes, one guy managed to get on some rigging under the scoreboard and was swinging back and forth for a bit. Oh the good old days.....
Detroit Free Press (April 10, 1974)
Yes, Tigers Had Their Streakers
The first Tiger Stadium streaker of the season made his appearance in the bottom of the sixth inning Tuesday, when he stripped off his clothes and raced up the middle aisle in the centerfield bleachers with nothing but his vanity to protect him from the 38-degree weather.
Apparently encouraged by the standing ovation the original streaker received, a near epidemic of nudity erupted in the centerfield bleachers.
Two more young men stripped and raced up and down the aisles, one pausing long enough to grab hold of the base of the scoreboard and take four or five leisurely swings in full view of the crowd of 44,047.
Later, a man stripped and sat nonchalantly observing the game.
An apparent introvert made his way onto the field during the seventh inning stretch, but his streak was hampered by a T-shirt and underwear.
