Frank WakefieldI forgot about Attell, and I should not have, I have him on 3 boxing cards, the old T, a small E card, and a Leaf or some such...
As for Maharg, and the whole mess, a must read is Rothstein by David Pietrusza. It takes a while to get to the baseball stuff, but this was one complex man. The bottom line on the fix, Rothstein had 2 separate, indepentent fixes going at the same time... the book explains it so well. A beautiful scam. And what a disaster for baseball, that is still with us today. Today, the signs at the park near the clubhouse and umpires room has language about fraternization based on the gambling concerns... no steroid language, though.
And thanks for the link up there to the McMullin ("en") Zee-Nut. A card to dream about.
