Kinda makes it sound like it was all on Cicotte...it wasn't. I still believe that it was Gandil (who was retiring after the season anyway) that cheated the other players by taking the money that the gamblers supposedly didn't pay the players. Gandil went on to live in California and supposedly led a pretty sweet life.
Some very good points Mike.
Unfortunately something’s wrong may never know like the details of Gandil and his “retirement”

Love to see some cards here.
Since every post needs a card
