They invented basic strategy (2008)

Roger Baldwin, Wilbert Cantey, Herbert Maisel and James McDermott — long known by blackjack insiders as the nearly mythical “Four Horsemen” — were inducted into the Blackjack Hall of Fame at Max Rubin’s 12th annual Blackjack Ball, held at the clubhouse of an upscale gated community in Las Vegas. Baldwin, who came to the ball from New York by bus and train, spent part of his trip reading Snyder’s “Big Book of Blackjack.” Snyder proposed inducting the Horsemen into the Hall of Fame, which is at the Barona Valley Ranch casino in San Diego, during this year’s Blackjack Ball, and his fellow hall of famers endorsed the idea.
