11/4/1928 arnold rothstein. one of the most brilliant gangsters of the 20th century. made millions off of horses and bootlegging. was also a pool shark on a level not often seen and rarely lost a card game. was the inventor of the floating craps game. had a hand in everything and anything going on the street. and above anything else, was behind the fix of the 1919 world series.

I read that story here a while back in a Carp Player magazine at the casino. If you like I will see if I can find it and send it to you,
