A little bit past the T206 era but a little bit before the Goudey era, what about Flint Rhem??? A recent eBay auction brought him to mind. In the thick of a pennant race and on the day he was scheduled to pitch, he actually claimed that he was kidnapped by two Brooklyn Dodger fans and forced to drink booze for 24 hours

Here is the story as per Google archives>>>http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...int+rhem&hl=en In 1960 he told the truth (or at least blamed it on Gabby Street who was conveniently dead at the time>>> http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...int+rhem&hl=en Lovely Day...
