Barry- I agree but a lot of times the players who were betting on games were also deliberately making sure the games would end up with the team winning they were betting on. Hal Chase was the most notorious but gambling (and) throwing games was rampant in the deadball era.

Well certainly that's a lot more sinister than simply betting on who might win.

You guys are also forgetting that "Swede was a hard guy"...ratting on some of those guys about the fix would not have been healthy.

I am no fan of Bud Selig but why no criticism of the tyrannical commissioner who created the injustice in the first place. I have a problem with a commissioner who says I don't care if you played well, were acquitted in Court and took no money, I'm banning you for life anyway. I especially have a problem with the fact that he was a former federal judge to whom, presumably, fundamental farness should mean something.
