A ten-cent beer night (that had been done many times before) explodes into an all-out riot on a June night at the Cleveland, Ohio baseball stadium.

The Boston Molasses Flood of 1919! Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

While this fatal event sounds outlandish, or even made-up - I can assure you that it isn't. On a warm day in 1919 Boston's North End would be nearly swept up by millions of gallons of molasses leaving some for dead and other's lives permanently altered.
