Note in particular the assumption that of course a professional will throw a game if you pay him enough." "It is hard to say just how widespread the attitude was, but it certainly [was] in the air. In Zane Grey's [1906]novel The Shortstop, when the protagonist tells his mother he has decided upon a career as a professional baseball player, she bursts into tears at that ruination of her son."
