Old boxing cards will have you seeing "red".❤
Not so long ago, boxing was a primary American spectator sport.
My Dad and Grandpa both enjoyed watching the fights, and I along with them.
When I got back into the hobby, I discovered boxing cards through baseball.
Abe Attell was widely known as the "bag man" in the Black Sox scandal, who ensured the money was secure and made it to its destination.
He was never convicted.
