...might go down in history as a legend-the biggest high roller ever to be a respected cop." So boasted Donald ("Diamond Don") Gilman, 47, in March 1977 when he was appointed sheriff of Indianapolis. Stocky and balding, Gilman is a high school dropout who claims to have become a millionaire from operating four local health spas. He is noted for his huge roll of banknotes, flashy cars and ostentatious jewelry. He brags about his junkets to Las Vegas, including gambling losses of $30,000 during one weekend...

...course, the greatest site is undoubtedly Lowell Park. This famed plot of land facing Mt. Auburn Street in front of Lowell House has provided thrills for Claverly bleacher bums for years. The diamond itself fits neatly into the surrounding with a spectacular setting for home runs. The right field wall is constructed of two wooden tiers, three-feet high, allowing outfielders a chance to rob hitters of four-baggers by snaring balls clearing the fence...
