A Chicago man almost got away with what would've been one of the biggest crimes in baseball history. Some shady jerk named David Dright had his home searched by Lake County, Illinois investigators after an anonymous player notified authorities about Dright stealing his personal information. There they found social security numbers, dates of birth, infant death records, and canceled paychecks. Information the man stole was also connected to current Major Leaguers, Moises Alou and Jim Thome. After confiscating all the material Dright had in his possession police discovered he had stolen close to 90 baseball players' identities. Wow, what a scumbag!
I can't believe he was getting away with so many cases of identity theft. This all developed after Dright shifted through a trash bin outside of SFX Baseball Inc., a sports agency representing Major league and minor leaguers in Northbrook, Illinois. It's evident this Dright character was a sneaky SOB with time on his hands. What's even more astounding is that the agency didn't shred this information (Hey idiots! It's private, confidential information you're just tossing away in a public trash bin).
Now Dright has a long time to think about how stupid he is for actually believing he could continue to pull this slick shit off. Bond is set at $250,000 as he remains at Lake County jail. I guess with incompetent practices from sports agencies and pesky, low-life eavesdroppers around the corner no professional athlete's name is safe. You'd think agents would do their best to protect their clients' personal documents.
This guy could really piss off former Major League stars if any material surfaces he stole proving they used steroids. Then this man may be getting a lot of unexpected, bulked-up visitors at the jail. Congress could finally have the dirt they needed on players like Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. Plus these two still have a crap load of money left. God only knows what will turn up next.
