This is astonishingly well researched but unfortunately makes you realise that nothing will ever change.....

Four really good books about the "Black Sox", the 1919 Chicago White Sox who threw the World Series. Avoid the most famous tome about the Black Sox, Eliot Asinof's Eight Men Out. Asinof reopened the scandal but his book is full of falsehoods. Garbage.
Good Biography about 1b Hal Chase. Possibly the most corrupt player in history. May have played in more dishomest games than honest ones. And got away with it for years.
The College Basketball point shaving scandal 1950-51. All but destroyed college hoops in NYC.
I really don't have much on the NBA. I've read everything I can find on the 1919 WS and the Black Sox. One more, just an article, but a good one and the bottom line about the fix. Many links to other stuff.
