Fastballs and Fastbulbs

Get the book that brings to light the true causes of the Black Sox Scandal in 1919 and its odd yet powerful connection to tulip mania in 1637.

One hundred plus years ago, the Black Sox made news, supposedly because out of destitution, they gambled (threw) the World Series in 1919.

Almost four hundred years ago, Dutch merchants made huge bets on tulip bulbs. Sound dissimilar to totally unrelated? NOT SO!
