My father, who was an avid Yankees fan, was 15 years old when this happened. He told me all about it when I was a youngster and we were at a game at the stadium with Chicago visiting. At first, it didn't sink in as to what all the hoopla must have been about, but when he apprised me of all the rules of the game and how felonious it was to throw a game for money, I was stunned that this could happen. Now, through the years with the Pete Rose case and others since and no doubt before his, along with the continued practices of drugging, it has spoiled my love of a once thoroughly enjoyable game. Sad that so many see fit to spoil the fun. Lord knows about all the other professional sports as well.
