McLain Linked to Gambling in 1967 Case Details
A Sports Illustrated story alleges Denny McLain invested in a Flint bookmaking operation in 1967. Kuhn weighs off field activity findings while McLain remains missing after a $7,000 loan dispute. Gazell denies major involvement. Wyant says McLain had two October appearances, nothing else. Federal probes and a Detroit TV report put McLain $150,000 in debt with a foot injury tied to a confrontation.
