Far cry from today where Baseball and the current commissioner embrace and promote gambling to fans of all ages.
I'm not sure Mays' punishment was appropriate, but I do believe that a day is coming where MLB as well as the other leagues rue their enthusiastic endorsement of gambling, both off the field AND on.
