Minor league gambling scandal sparks debate on pay and integrity
A life ban for a minor league manager and a club official fuels questions about corruption in baseball. The Des Moines Register notes Western League pays average players about $10 per game while Class C and D circuits pay far less. The piece questions expansion, farm club influence, and why major league clubs chase semi pro talent. It also mentions Manny Hidalgo as Buffalo’s interpreter and touches on Western Michigan College’s NCAA playoff bid, Tony Zale and Rocky Graziano settling in Gary and Brooklyn, and Bobby Layne declining pro baseball offers to finish college before joining the Chicago Bears.
