"Gents" like these have always shown up wherever, and whenever, there was money to be made. One article I read called baseball throughout the entire period from 1865-1920 a "Stinking Cesspool of Greed."
A researcher named Howard Rosenberg found well over 100 examples of ballplayers and team executives betting on baseball during the late 1800s, so I decided that a couple of unsavory characters of that sort would fit well in Charlie's world.
