Quotes by David Pietrusza (?)

“A. R. promised to abide by Belmont’s wishes—to limit bets, to avoid the track except for holidays. He soon broke those promises. “What are you doing here today?” Belmont asked one day as he spotted Arnold at the track. “It’s a holiday.” “A holiday?” “Why yes, you ought to know, Mr. Belmont. It’s Rosh Hashanah.”
― David Pietrusza, Rothstein: The Life, Times, and Murder of the Criminal Genius Who Fixed the 1919 World Series
