Charlie Grant became Chief Tokohoma. Had the deception succeeded, the Orioles would have been the first modern club to integrate, going back to almost a century ago.It was a scheme crafted by John McGraw, regarded as one of the game's most successful managers and included in the first class elected to the Hall of Fame.

Think twice before taking up that cheap offer for a fabulous vacation. You could find yourself wanting to get away from a costly ruse. The prize promotions arrive via phone messages, letters and e-mail, with the warning that you must act "now." Although the offers say you have been "specially selected" for this opportunity, the fact is most unsolicited promotions target thousands of recipients at a time. Always read the fine print and don't be afraid to ask specific questions, as with most offers that sound too good to be true.
