In 1944, on January 22nd, on the Italian coast between Anzio and Nettuno, there was one of the most important beachheads of WW2. Thousands of soldiers arrived to fight against the Nazis who had invaded Italy. For the Baseball World Cup, whose final was played in Nettuno on September the 27th, other combatants arrived from all over the world, running across the same fields of glory. United States won, and this time it was just a game.
