When the Philadelphia Phillies won the 2008 World Series and returned to the Fall Classic in 2009, counterfeit merchandise was being sold all over the five-county area. The sale of these goods hurt the profits of Major League Baseball and also prevented fans from receiving official merchandise commemorating their team’s victories. So Major League Baseball turned to Stumar Investigations for help. Stumar hit the streets to scope out vendors and stores selling the illegal products. Alerting police with the intelligence, authorities were able to shut down the illegal operations and Stumar’s evidence allowed legitimate merchandise the chance to own the market.
