The San Francisco Giants have scored fewer runs than any other Major League team. They don’t cross home plate very often. But a front office employee is now accused of trying to steal a home against them. The team’s payroll manager is now facing felony charges for allegedly embezzling $1.5 million from Giants players, by diverting money from their direct deposit accounts.

The FBI was brought in – and with that, the game was over.
