Talk about devotion to baseball, try St. Louis, where the Cardinals are practically a religion. The following episode actually happened in the 1980s:
A member of the "Crips" gang (major players in drug trafficking, for those blessed enough to be living in an area w/o problems with the drug trade; their big rivals are the Bloods) came into St. L to recruit/organize/intimidate the local gangs into the Crips network. He met with representatives of a goodly selection of the local street gangs...and found them all wearing red. Cardinals red, to be specific.
"You can't wear red any more," Mr. Crip told the locals. "Red is the color of the Bloods gang and this is Crips territory. You gotta wear blue."
"We're Cardinals fans," said the locals, "and there's a game tonight. We're wearing our Cardinals stuff." (In St. Louis, even the gang members bury the hatchet when it's time to go to the stadium and cheer for the Cards.)
"You can't wear red no more," insisted the Crip. "This is Crips territory."
"This is CARDS territory, and we're wearing our Cards stuff."
At this point, Mr. Big Shot apparently forgot he wasn't in L.A. with a bunch of his own toughs to back him up and said something to the effect of "$%&* the Cards, this is Crips territory and you'll do what I say or else." That tore it. As the local police pieced it together, the Crip was shot by a member of one gang, his corpse transported by members of a second gang, left to be found on the territory of a third gang -- and a joint message by the St. Louis gangs in general went to the Crips to strongly suggest that they might want to keep their butts out of St. Louis. For some odd reason, the police didn't really strain themselves to try to solve this particular murder, and the local gangs in turn made sure that any new Crips in town came to police attention about as soon as they could be identified.
Strange but true.

This is the ONE good thing about living in Vegas. All my teams are minor league (Triple A baseball, Double A Hockey). IOW, "What strike?"

Cancer Treatments
Hushing up treatments still goes on. The following link details a treatment available only here in Western Australia & in Ireland. This man has been vilified by the medical profession for years but his treatment works and has a higher success rate than chemotherapy.
