I ran across this on my news feed today. Never knew this about Mays and Mantle.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Not sure why. It's from NBC Sports and titled, "Today in Baseball History: When Mantle and Mays were banned from baseball".

Since all those links are still blocked on my side and Sportzcommish mentioned a ban I am guessing this is about Mantle and Mays working in the casinos.

VERY interesting article there! Thanks for the working link CAD. I didn't know any of that. Of course that all happened before I was born, except for the re-instatements of both players. I knew a little about Kuhn, but not much before now. Seems like he was just a piece of crap as an MLB commish though. And that article also led to how Selig became the commissioner.
