A group of St. Louis police officers were involved in a scam to seize tickets from scalpers so their friends and family could attend World Series games in 2006, recently released documents show.
The ACLU posted documents Thursday that they had been seeking to obtain since 2007 regarding the case of corruption. Vice Sports wrote about the scam on Friday and says that the St. Louis Police Department created a World Series Scalping Detail of 22 employees to stop people from scalping tickets during the ’06 World Series between the Cardinals and Detroit Tigers. The problem is the cops flipped the seized tickets to friends and family after busting the scalpers.
