Tyler Kepner of the NY Times had an interesting article that discussed the ongoing problem of identity fraud in major league baseball.

When Sandy Alderson traveled to the Dominican Republic in 2010 to investigate identity fraud for the commissioner’s office, he went armed with a message. Alderson had previously served as the chief executive of the San Diego Padres, and related his experiences.

“I had personally been burned on a number of occasions by identity fraud,” said Alderson, now the general manager of the Mets.
