Great stuff!!!!! Gambling was THE MAJOR problem with professional baseball. That's why the leagues put in strong rules about gambling. A good book about the gambling scourge is The Fix is In, and after reading that it is easier to understand why the Black Sox were dealt with as they were, and why Jackson and Rose should never get into the HOF.
Thanks for posting it, Shawn, and a fine job piecing together the history of it. If you haven't read The Fix is In then by all means get a copy.
