Book excerpt: Baseball was rocked in the winter of 1926 when one-time star pitcher and all-time trouble maker Dutch Leonard produced letters implicating Baseball Gods Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker in a game-fixing scheme that unfolded days before the 1919 World Series. It's the biggest gambling scandal in baseball history this side of the Black Sox and Pete Rose.
