Bob Rhoads(1902-1909)
His team was on preseason trip to Texas. However, two games in San Antonio were rained out, no profits, and owners of the ballclub didn't have money($1,600) for hotel bills and for railroad tickets.
Bob Roads went to casino named "Crystal Palace" and won $1,800 playing craps. He then gave the owners $1,600 and split remaining $200 among teammates.

It would add some additional color
