While Nazi Germany was on the rise in 1933, a baseball game between a Jewish team and an Italian team descends into a massive riot when members of the anti-sematic Pit Gang decide to unfurl their swastika banner.
By the end of the day, 10,000 people will have taken to the streets, leaving dozens injured.
