FBI Working Extra Innings at MLB All-Star Game

ST. LOUIS—Dozens of FBI agents and specialists are among the thousands converging on St. Louis for the Major League Baseball All-Star game and the events leading up to the annual baseball extravaganza.

The FBI is teaming up with other law enforcement agencies to support the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, which is responsible for the overall security and emergency management of the event. The FBI’s role is to gather, analyze, and share intelligence related to potential threats.

The Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be held in Busch Stadium on July 14

“This command center gives the FBI the ability to communicate with anyone, anytime using secure lines, said John V. Gillies, special agent in charge of the FBI’s St. Louis office. “Our pre-event planning has prepared us for any curveballs that are thrown our way. It is all a part of what the FBI does to protect you from terrorist attacks and other security threats so the fans can sit back and enjoy the game.”

FBI agents, intelligence analysts, bomb technicians, hazardous material experts, SWAT, and evidence response teams come from around the country to help staff the command center for the event.

Local, state, and federal agencies securing the event include the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, St. Louis County Police, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Sikeston Police, St. Louis Airport Police, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Coast Guard, Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Department of Energy, the Department of Interior, and many others.

the FBI has to be the stupidist,most arrogant,law enforcement agency in the world.Did you know that they don’t think you need to know anything about Islam to fight the terrorists?They think a bombing is a bombing.A shooting is a shooting.And so what if OBama Bin Ladin thinks we’re satan,and that every good muslim should kill us.The muslim religion has nothing to do with the Holy War they’re waging against us!!!!So they’re going to watch baseball?Well,that’s a lot easier than catching mass murderers,or terrorists who want to cause,”man made disasters.”

The only reason they are they is because “the one” will be there to throw out the first ball.

The “one” has already committed his FBI to dig up bones in a private cemetery. Why are tax payers paying for that?

July 13, 2009
By NATASHA KORECKI and MAUREEN O’DONNELL Staff Reporters

The FBI arrived at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip today to start the daunting task of combing through 100,000 gravesites spread over more than 100 acres in a search for any for above-ground human remains.

I saw this morning that they will be closing down I-64 (Hwy 40 for those locals) for the duration of the game. Even thought the highway is closed further down for construction, that small stretch feeds from the bridges over the Mississippi from Illinois. Its still going to cause a lot of headaches.

As for me, I will be sitting in my comfortable, climate controlled house, no long trafficated commute home, no lines to the bathroom, no lines for food . . .watching anything but the All Star Game. (Altho I will most likely watch zero throw the ball . . . I want to be able to say . . ."You throw a ball like a giiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrll!)

Because its a crime scene, and the FBI is probably the best equipped agency to deal with identifying that volume of remains.

Bam will be throwing out the first pitch. That’s fine, Presidents are expected to do that. And the FBI would be rightly expected to provide the security. I don’t like the fact that Fox is going to let him into the announcers booth. I suspect that we’ll see two on and none out in the fifth with Albert Pujols coming to the plate, and Bam will be regaling us with a fillibuster on health-care.
